How about this boot option:

         memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
                         [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved.
                         Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
                         Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
                                  memmap=64K$0x18690000
                                  or
                                  memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
