Subject: [Resend PATCH] x86/e820: break the loop when the region is less then current region
e820_all_mapped() iterates the e820 table to check whether a region is
mapped or not. Since the e820 table is sorted, when the region is less than
the current region, no need to continue the iteration.
The patch breaks the loop accordingly.
