x86/boot/e820: Make sure e820_search_gap() finds all gaps
The current implementation of e820_search_gap() searches gaps
in a reverse search from MAX_GAP_END back to 0, contrary to
what its main comment claims:
* Search for a gap in the E820 memory space from 0 to MAX_GAP_END (4GB).
But gaps can not only be beyond E820 RAM ranges, they can be below
them as well. For example this function will not find the proper
PCI gap for simplified memory map layouts that have a single RAM
range that crosses the 4GB boundary.
Rework the function to have a proper forward search of
E820 table entries.
This makes the code somewhat bigger:
text data bss dec hex filename
7613 44072 0 51685 c9e5 e820.o.before
7645 44072 0 51717 ca05 e820.o.after
but it now both implements what it claims to do, and is more
straightforward to read.
( This also allows 'idx' to be the regular u32 again, not an 'int'
underflowing to -1. )
