Subject: [PATCH 17/40] UAPI: Fix E820_X_MAX ordering problem [ver #3]

There's an ordering problem around the definition of E820_X_MAX: the definition
in the kernel-specific header is referred to in the user-specific header data
structures, at least for x86.  When compiling userspace, the user-specific
header provides an alternate version of E820_X_MAX.

To get around this problem, place a marker specifically to indicate the point
at which the UAPI header should be included in the kernel-specific file.  The
marker will be deleted later.
