Yinghai Lu ecda06289f x86: check mptable physptr with max_low_pfn on 32bit
Impact: fix early crash on LinuxBIOS systems

Kevin O'Connor reported that Coreboot aka LinuxBIOS tries to put
mptable somewhere very high, well above max_low_pfn (below which
BIOSes generally put the mptable), causing a panic.

The BIOS will probably be changed to be compatible with older
Linus versions, but nevertheless the MP-spec does not forbid
an MP-table in arbitrary system RAM, so make sure it all
works even if the table is in an unexpected place.

Check physptr with max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE.
