[PATCH 0/2] efi: Fixes for EFI_MEMORY_SP memory on RISC-V and ARM64

Two small fixes to enable the use soft-reserved/special-purpose memory
(EFI_MEMORY_SP) with dax_kmem on RISC-V (and ARM64, I think, though I
don't have a platform to test it on).

Patch 1 fixes a trivial integer narrowing bug. Patch 2 prevents adding
memblocks for unusable memory (including soft-resreved memory) so that it
can later be hotplugged by dax_kmem.

Tested on a RISC-V platform that presents a range of EFI_MEMORY_SP with
Bjorn's MEMORY_HOTPLUG series[0] applied.
