I tried both BuildResourceDescriptorHob and BuildMemoryAllocationHob
but apparently they don't have any effect.
When I look at the output of the shell's memmap command there aren't
any reserved/unavailable pages.

Furthermore, when using AllocatePages with one of the physical
addresses which I've reserved it succeeds which means that it's not
just a problem of how the memmap command works.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks
Michael
