x86, pat: fix reserve_memtype() for legacy 1MB range

Here X is trying to map first 8KB of memory using /dev/mem. Existing
code treats first 0-4KB of memory as non-RAM and 4KB-8KB as RAM. Recent
code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes
at the same time.
Fix this by treating the first 1MB legacy region as special and always
track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked
list (and don't bother if the range is RAM or non-RAM or mixed)
