Venkatesh Pallipadi f9ba70535d [PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128
The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries.  But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32.  Patch below bumps the number upto 128.

The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.

Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.

Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImage

Side-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

/*
* structures and definitions for the int 15, ax=e820 memory map
* scheme.
*
* In a nutshell, arch/i386/boot/setup.S populates a scratch table
* in the empty_zero_block that contains a list of usable address/size
* duples. In arch/i386/kernel/setup.c, this information is
* transferred into the e820map, and in arch/i386/mm/init.c, that
* new information is used to mark pages reserved or not.
