5dca6a1bb0 x86: trim mtrr don't close gap for resource allocation.
fix the bug reported here:

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10232

use update_memory_range() instead of add_memory_range() directly
to avoid closing the gap.

( the new code only affects and runs on systems where the MTRR
  workaround triggers. )

093af8d7f0 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the
RAM and need to update e820.

reuse some code on 64-bit as well.

here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move
mtrr_bp_init early.

The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system:

from:

 [    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable)

to:

 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable)
 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved)

According to Justin it makes quite a difference:

|  When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386,
|  takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

2215e69d2c x86 boot: use E820 memory map on EFI 32 platform
Because the EFI memory map are converted to e820 memory map in bootloader, the
EFI memory map handling code is removed to clean up.

c9cce83dd1 x86: remove extern declarations for code, data, bss resources
This patch removes the extern struct resource declarations for
data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource on x86 and declares that
three structures as static as done on other architectures like IA64.

On i386, these structures are moved to setup_32.c (from e820_32.c) because
that's code that is not specific to e820 and also required on EFI systems.
That makes the "extern" reference superfluous.

On x86_64, data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource are passed to
e820_reserve_resources() as arguments just as done on i386 and IA64.  That
also avoids the "extern" reference and it's possible to make it static.

ee8e7cfe9d Make asm-x86/bootparam.h includable from userspace.
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.
