[PATCH] Seabios - read e820 table from qemu_cfg

[Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Based on the feedback I received over the e820 reserve patch, I have
changed it to have QEMU pass in a list of entries that can cover more
than just the TSS/EPT range. This should provide the flexibility that
people were asking for.

The Seabios portion should allow for unlimited sized tables in theory,
whereas for QEMU I have set a fixed limit for now, but it can easily
be extended.

Please let me know what you think of this version!

Cheers,
Jes

Read optional table of e820 entries from qemu_cfg

Read optional table of e820 entries through qemu_cfg, allowing QEMU to
provide the location of KVM's switch area etc. rather than rely on
hard coded values.

For now, fall back to the old hard coded values for the TSS and EPT
switch page for compatibility reasons. Compatibility code could
possibly be removed in the future.
