x86, tboot: Add support for S3 memory integrity protection
This patch adds support for S3 memory integrity protection within an Intel(R) TXT launched kernel, for all kernel and userspace memory. All RAM used by the kernel and userspace, as indicated by memory ranges of type E820_RAM and E820_RESERVED_KERN in the e820 table, will be integrity protected. The MAINTAINERS file is also updated to reflect the maintainers of the TXT-related code. All MACing is done in tboot, based on a complexity analysis and tradeoff. v3: Compared with v2, this patch adds a check of array size in tboot.c, and a note to specify which c/s of tboot supports this kind of MACing in intel_txt.txt.
