This patch fixes a bug in e820_update_range(): Previously, if a region was
partially covered, then e820_update_range() only added a new E820 range but
didn't update the end/size of the previous range. That lead to duplicate
covering of a region.
Patch tested on i386 and x86-64 with patch that uses e820_update_range()
to limit the E820 map when "mem" parameter is specified on the command line.
