"memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]

                        [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved.
                        Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn.
                        Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
                                 memmap=64K$0x18690000
                                 or
                                 memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
                        Some bootloaders may need an escape character before 
'$',
                        like Grub2, otherwise '$' and the following number
                        will be eaten."
