[PATCH 08/15] efi: payload: early-mem: helps to correctly boot x86 linux.

[Chali Anis <chalianis1@gmail.com>]

remove the allocate EFI_ALLOCATE_MAX_ADDRESSES and use a different
memsize for x86 since the initrd could be bigger that those used in
arm. it might be refactored in the future with a more generic allocation
strategy (i.e barebox malloc memory vs an allocator for the boot loader data)
something like sdram_request_region or just allocate small memory for the
barebox allocator and implement a way to allocate memory for kernel/initrd
directly from efi.
