This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.
The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.
This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.
As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.
This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

This patch prepares the x86_64 architecture initialization for
paravirt. It requires a memory initialization step, which is done
by implementing 64-bit version for machine_specific_memory_setup,
and putting an ARCH_SETUP hook, for guest-dependent initialization.
This last step is done akin to i386

Make <asm/setup.h> usable by the boot code.
Clean up vestiges of the old command-line protocol from setup.h and
head_32.S (it is still supported from the boot loader point of
view, since it is converted to the new command-line protocol by the
boot code.)
