SETUP_RNG_SEED in setup_data is supplied by kexec and should
not be reserved in the e820 map.
Doing so reserves 16 bytes of RAM when booting with kexec.
(16 bytes because data->len is zeroed by parse_setup_data so only
sizeof(setup_data) is reserved.)
When kexec is used repeatedly, each boot adds two entries in the
kexec-provided e820 map as the 16-byte range splits a larger
range of usable memory. Eventually all of the 128 available entries
get used up. The next split will result in losing usable memory
as the new entries cannot be added to the e820 map.
