Subject: [PATCH] kern/efi/mm: Always request a fixed number of pages on init

When initializing the EFI memory subsystem, we will by default request
a quarter of the available memory, bounded by a minimum/maximum value.
Given that we're about to extend the EFI memory system to dynamically
request additional pages from the firmware as required, this scaling of
requested memory based on available memory will not make a lot of sense
anymore.

Remove this logic as a preparatory patch such that we'll instead defer
to the runtime memory allocator. Note that ideally, we'd want to change
this after dynamic requesting of pages has been implemented for the EFI
platform. But because we'll need to split up initialization of the
memory subsystem and the request of pages from the firmware, we'd have
to duplicate quite some logic at first only to remove it afterwards
again. This seems quite pointless, so we instead have patches slightly
out of order.
