x86/e820: temporarily enable KHO scratch for memory below 1M
KHO kernels are special and use only scratch memory for memblock allocations, but memory below 1M is ignored by kernel after early boot and cannot be naturally marked as scratch. To allow allocation of the real-mode trampoline and a few (if any) other very early allocations from below 1M forcibly mark the memory below 1M as scratch. After real mode trampoline is allocated, clear that scratch marking.
