Jens found the following crash/regression:

[    0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80
[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page

and

[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE

and bisected it to b24c2a9 ("x86: Move find_smp_config()
earlier and avoid bootmem usage").

It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
without reserving it.

So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.
