Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2 2/2] x86: reimplement mem boot option

From: Wen Congyang <wency@...fujitsu.com>

Current mem boot option only can work for non efi environment. If the user
specifies add_efi_memmap, it cannot work for efi environment. In
the efi environment, we call e820_add_region() to add the memory map. So
we can modify __e820_add_region() and the mem boot option can work for
efi environment.
