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

The boot option "mem=" specifies the total memory that the system can
use. But we implement it as max_addr.

The x86 system can be booted by EFI. If the user specify the boot
option "add_efi_memmap", we add all memory map from EFI, but we
donot handle the memory map according to the boot option "mem=".

This patch reimplement the boot option "mem=", and handle the memory
map after calling efi_init().
