Okay, I will split this change apart.

I don't think the OS should care about the bios size, but it is
important to update the INT15-E820 memory ranges to help
make sure the OS knows which regions are in use.

Even without the E820 change, I think it would be unlikely
for an OS to try utilize these memory regions, but it is
definitely better to properly describe it.
