x86: Prepare configuration tables in dedicated high memory region

Currently when CONFIG_SEABIOS is on, U-Boot allocates configuration
tables via normal malloc(). To simplify, use a dedicated memory
region which is reserved on the stack before relocation for this
purpose. Add functions for reserve and malloc.

+	  SeaBIOS itself resides in E seg and F seg, where U-Boot puts all
+	  configuration tables like PIRQ/MP/ACPI. To avoid conflicts, U-Boot
+	  puts a copy of configuration tables in high memory region which
+	  is reserved on the stack before relocation. The region size is
+	  determined by this option.
+
+	  Increse it if the default size does not fit the board's needs.
+	  This is most likely due to a large ACPI DSDT table is used.
