Subject: [RFC v1 5/8] x86/init: move ebda reservations into linker table

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>

This lets us annotate its requirements specifically for
PC and lguest subarchitectures. While at it since head.c
just has ebda data rename it. Since we're using linker tables
and both x86 32-bit and 64-bit have them we don't need
to declare a call for this separately. This lets us
also keep this declared static now.

Since we're using linker tables and have support to annotate
subarchitecture do that instead. pv_legacy() is incorrect as
its really only for legacy PV guests. There's no need for
pv_legacy() check anymore now.
