Ingo Molnar f9748fa045 x86/boot/e820: Simplify the e820__update_table() interface
The e820__update_table() parameters are pretty complex:

  arch/x86/include/asm/e820/api.h:extern int  e820__update_table(struct e820_entry *biosmap, int max_nr_map, u32 *pnr_map);

But 90% of the usage is trivial:

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	if (e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries))
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:		if (e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries) < 0)
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(boot_params.e820_table, ARRAY_SIZE(boot_params.e820_table), &new_nr);
  arch/x86/kernel/early-quirks.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:		e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/xen/setup.c:	e820__update_table(xen_e820_table.entries, ARRAY_SIZE(xen_e820_table.entries),
  arch/x86/xen/setup.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries);
  arch/x86/xen/setup.c:	e820__update_table(xen_e820_table.entries, ARRAY_SIZE(xen_e820_table.entries),

as it only uses an exiting struct e820_table's entries array, its size and
its current number of entries as input and output arguments.

Only one use is non-trivial:

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(boot_params.e820_table, ARRAY_SIZE(boot_params.e820_table), &new_nr);

... which call updates the E820 table in the zeropage in-situ, and the layout there does not
match that of 'struct e820_table' (in particular nr_entries is at a different offset,
hardcoded by the boot protocol).

Simplify all this by introducing a low level __e820__update_table() API that
the zeropage update call can use, and simplifying the main e820__update_table()
call signature down to:

	int e820__update_table(struct e820_table *table);

This visibly simplifies all the call sites:

  arch/x86/include/asm/e820/api.h:extern int  e820__update_table(struct e820_table *table);
  arch/x86/include/asm/e820/types.h: * call to e820__update_table() to remove duplicates.  The allowance
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: * The return value from e820__update_table() is zero if it
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:int __init e820__update_table(struct e820_table *table)
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	if (e820__update_table(e820_table))
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table_firmware);
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:		if (e820__update_table(e820_table) < 0)
  arch/x86/kernel/early-quirks.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:		e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/xen/setup.c:	e820__update_table(&xen_e820_table);
  arch/x86/xen/setup.c:	e820__update_table(e820_table);
  arch/x86/xen/setup.c:	e820__update_table(&xen_e820_table);

No change in functionality.
