[PATCH 1/2] x86 e820: Check for exactmap appearance when parsing first memmap option

[Thomas Renninger]

From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai at kernel.org>

memmap=exactmap will throw away all original, but also until then
user defined (through other provided memmap= parameters) areas.
That means all memmap= boot parameters passed before a memmap=exactmap
parameter are not recognized.
Without this fix:
memmap=x at y memmap=exactmap memmap=i#k
only i#k would get recognized.

This is wrong, this fix will only throw away all original e820 areas once
when memmap=exactmap is found in the whole boot command line and before
any other memmap= option is parsed.
