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).
