I originally restricted i2c_register_spd() to only support systems
with up to 4 memory slots, so that we can experiment with it on
a limited numbers of systems. It's been more than 3 years and it
seems to work just fine, so the time has come to lift this arbitrary
limitation.
The maximum number of memory slots which can be connected to a single
I2C segment is 8, so support that many SPD EEPROMs. Any system with
more than 8 memory slots would have either multiple SMBus channels
or SMBus multiplexing, so it would need dedicated care. We'll get to
that later as needed.
