x86_32: trim memory by updating e820

when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the
RAM and need to update e820.

reuse some code on 64-bit as well.

here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move
mtrr_bp_init early.

The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system:

from:

 [    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable)

to:

 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable)
 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved)

According to Justin it makes quite a difference:

|  When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386,
|  takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

By default the kernel will trim any uncacheable
memory out of your available memory pool based on
MTRR settings. This parameter disables that behavior,
