Jiaqing Zhao 53825c5cac e820: properly reserve memory for multiboot modules ...

In current implementation, if there are multiple continous 4k-aligned
modules, 0-sized e820 entries will be created between these regions.
And for non-4k-aligned modules, when two of them are located in one
page, the second memory range will not be reserved as it was not in
one e820 entry after the first is reserved, making it vulnerable.

This patch fixes it by marking the exact memory range of multiboot
modules as unusable first, then shrinking the e820 entries to page
boundary. If the module crosses multiple e820 entries, possibly due
to a buggy bootloader, hypervisor will panic immediately to prevent
modules getting corrupted.
