The EFI memory map does not need to be in a strict order, but 32bit
grub2 does expect it to be ascending. If it's not, it may try to
allocate memory inside the U-Boot data memory region.
We already sort the memory map in descending order, so let's just
reverse it when we pass it to a payload.

Some EFI applications (grub2) expect that an allocation always returns
the highest available memory address for the given size.
Without this, we may run into situations where the initrd gets allocated
at a lower address than the kernel.
This patch fixes booting in such situations for me.

The EFI loader needs to maintain views of memory - general system memory
windows as well as used locations inside those and potential runtime service
MMIO windows.
To manage all of these, add a few helpers that maintain an internal
representation of the map the similar to how the EFI API later on reports
it to the application.
For allocations, the scheme is very simple. We basically allow allocations
to replace chunks of previously done maps, so that a new LOADER_DATA
allocation for example can remove a piece of the RAM map. When no specific
address is given, we just take the highest possible address in the lowest
RAM map that fits the allocation size.
