xen/boot: Disable BIOS SMP MP table search.
As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT (so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR. The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables. Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching for BIOS SMP tables. This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6: 9f->100 for 1:1 PTE Freeing 9f-100 pfn range: 97 pages freed 1-1 mapping on 9f->100 .. snip.. e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009efff] usable Xen: [mem 0x000000000009f400-0x00000000000fffff] reserved Xen: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000cfd1dfff] usable .. snip..

Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461. Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example 0x80140.
