This patch makes early reserved highmem pages become reserved
pages. This can be used for highmem pages allocated by bootloader such
as EFI memory map, linked list of setup_data, etc.

make mptable to be consistent with acpi routing, so we could:
1. kexec kernel with acpi=off
2. work around BIOSes where acpi routing is working, but mptable is
not right, so can use kernel/kexec to start other OSes that don't have
good acpi support.

The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(),
was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in
legacy BIOS E820 structures. This patch changes that type to an 'int',
to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger
than the 256 count that fits in a char). The legacy BIOS E820 interface
of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding
up to E820MAX == 128 entries. But the kernel internals can handle more
when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via
EFI interfaces.

Extend internal boot time memory tables to allow for up to
three entries per node, which may be larger than the 128 E820MAX
entries handled by the legacy BIOS E820 interface. The EFI
interface, if present, is capable of passing memory map
entries for these larger node counts.
This patch requires an earlier patch that rewrote code depending
on these array sizes from using E820MAX explicitly to size loops,
to instead using ARRAY_SIZE() of the applicable array.
Another patch following this one will provide the code to pick
up additional memory entries passed via the EFI interface from
the BIOS and insert them in the following, now enlarged, arrays.

This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.
The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.
This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.
As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.
This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

page_is_ram has a FIXME since ages, which reminds to sanity check the
BIOS area between 640k and 1M, which is sometimes falsely reported as
RAM in the e820 tables.
Implement the sanity check. Move the BIOS range defines from
pageattr.c into e820.h to avoid duplicate defines.

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher)
currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them
includable from userspace is much nicer.
We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h
into e820.h for export.
