bootmem: Keep OS memory map separate from the start
The patch series ending in 64049be (lib/bootmem: Add method to walk OS POV memory tables) expanded the bootmem framework to also keep track of memory regions that are only relevant while coreboot is still executing, such as the ramstage code and data. Mixing this into the exsting bootmem ranges has already caused an issue on CONFIG_RELOCATEABLE_RAMSTAGE boards, because the ramstage code in CBMEM is marked as BM_RAMSTAGE which ends up getting translated back to LB_RAM in the OS tables. This was fixed in 1ecec5f (lib/bootmem: ensure ramstage memory isn't given to OS) for this specific case, but unfortunately Arm boards can have a similar problem where their stack space is sometimes located in an SRAM region that should not be made available as RAM to the OS. Since both the resources made available to the OS and the regions reserved for coreboot can be different for each platform, we should find a generic solution to this rather than trying to deal with each issue individually. This patch solves the problem by keeping the OS point of view and the coreboot-specific ranges separate from the start, rather than cloning it out later. Ranges only relevant to the coreboot view will never touch the OS-specific layout, to avoid the problem of losing information about the original memory type of the underlying region that needs to be restored for the OS view. This both supersedes the RELOCATABLE_RAMSTAGE fix and resolves the problems on Arm boards.
