Or add a simplified version for early boot.  You only need to find one
entry and get one value from it, this should be doable with all state on
the stack.

Modifying the e820 code isn't really possible I think, it also creates
the e820 table for the OS, which must be stored somewhere.  So this is
hardly doable without working malloc.

HTH,
