x86/realmode: Make the location of the trampoline configurable

x86 CPUs boot in real mode. This mode uses 20-bit memory addresses (16-bit
registers plus 4-bit segment selectors). This implies that the trampoline
must reside under the 1MB memory boundary.

There are platforms in which the firmware boots the secondary CPUs,
switches them to long mode and transfers control to the kernel. An example
of such mechanism is the ACPI Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure.

In this scenario there is no restriction to locate the trampoline under 1MB
memory. Moreover, certain platforms (for example, Hyper-V VTL guests) may
not have memory available for allocation under 1MB.

Add a new member to struct x86_init_resources to specify the upper bound
for the location of the trampoline memory. Keep the default upper bound of
1MB to conserve the current behavior.
