The bios will now reserve more memory via the E820 functions.
Note that the standard KVM BIOS will most likely not make use of
this expanded BIOS region. This change will synchronize
the BIOS INT15-E820 reservations to match other changes that
will allow alternate BIOS images to be larger in size.
Previously the BIOS reserved:
0xfffbc000-0xfffbcfff - 4KB - EPT identity mapping pages
0xfffbd000-0xfffbffff - 12KB - TSS pages
0xfffc0000-0xffffffff - 256KB - Max bios.bin (usually top 128KB is used)
Now the BIOS will reserve:
0xfeffc000-0xfeffcfff - 4KB - EPT identity mapping pages
0xfeffd000-0xfeffffff - 12KB - TSS Pages
0xff000000-0xffffffff - 16MB - Max bios.bin
