Description

Regarding https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/52585, we have gone ahead and created LB_MEM_SOFT_RESERVED (0xefffffff) to be used in e820 table for memory that is "soft reserved" (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.10.32&id=262b45ae3ab4bf8e2caf1fcfd0d8307897519630). This creates a coreboot+Linux specific configuration which is undesirable from an interoperability standpoint. We should work to create a standard indicator for these types of entries.
