Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk bd49940a35 xen/boot: Disable BIOS SMP MP table search.
As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions
of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we
use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT
(so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR.

The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do
not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables.

Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching
for BIOS SMP tables.

This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6:

9f->100 for 1:1 PTE
Freeing 9f-100 pfn range: 97 pages freed
1-1 mapping on 9f->100

(XEN) Domain 0 crashed: 'noreboot' set - not rebooting.

which is that ioremap would end up mapping 0xff using _PAGE_IOMAP
(which is what early_ioremap sticks as a flag) - which meant
we would get MFN 0xFF (pte ff461, which is OK), and then it would
also map 0x100 (b/c ioremap tries to get page aligned request, and
it was trying to map 0xf4fa0 + PAGE_SIZE - so it mapped the next page)
as _PAGE_IOMAP. Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP
bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461.
Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the
Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example
0x80140.
