Yes, good catch, I will remove.

The clamp is a min(), so it can only ever make the kernel use less of
the table than the table claims, just a silly and cheap optimization.

That said, pm->size is more than enought for now, and we optimize later.

I will drop efi_poison_usable_size() completely and replace it by
pm->size.
