[SeaBIOS] [RFC PATCH 8/9] pc: adjust e820 map on hot-add and hot-remove

Hotplugged memory is not persistent in the e820 memory maps. After hotplugging
a memslot and rebooting the VM, the hotplugged device is not present.
A possible solution is to add an e820 for the new memslot in the acpi_piix4
hot-add handler. On a reset, Seabios (see next patch in series) will enable all
memory devices for which it finds an e820 entry that covers the devices's address
range.
On hot-remove, the acpi_piix4 handler will try to remove the e820 entry
corresponding to the device. This will work when no VM reboots happen
between hot-add and hot-remove, but it is not a sufficient solution in
general: Seabios and GuestOS merge adjacent e820 entries on machine reboot,
so the sequence hot-add/ rebootVM / hot-remove will fail to remove a
corresponding e820 entry at the hot-remove phase.
