x86 boot: extend some internal memory map arrays to handle larger EFI input 



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.

/*

 * Legacy E820 BIOS limits us to 128 (E820MAX) nodes due to the

 * constrained space in the zeropage.  If we have more nodes than

 * that, and if we've booted off EFI firmware, then the EFI tables

 * passed us from the EFI firmware can list more nodes.  Size our

 * internal memory map tables to have room for these additional

 * nodes, based on up to three entries per node for which the

 * kernel was built: MAX_NUMNODES == (1 << CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT),

 * plus E820MAX, allowing space for the possible duplicate E820

 * entries that might need room in the same arrays, prior to the

 * call to sanitize_e820_map() to remove duplicates.  The allowance

 * of three memory map entries per node is "enough" entries for

 * the initial hardware platform motivating this mechanism to make

 * use of additional EFI map entries.  Future platforms may want

 * to allow more than three entries per node or otherwise refine

 * this size.
