This is a preparatory patch for the next patch in series.
Moves some code from e820_setup_gap to a new function e820_search_gap.
This patch is a part of a bug fix where we walk the ACPI table to calculate
a gap for PCI optional devices.

v1->v2: Patch on top of tip/master.
      Fixes a bug introduced in the last patch about the typeof "last".
      Also the new function e820_search_gap now returns if we found a gap in
      e820_map.
applied to tip/x86/setup-memory - thanks Alok.
Hi Ingo,

As mentioned in this mail,
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121441312409978&w=2

I have also added a end_addr parameter to e820_search_gap to search only
till the CRS objects end_addr instead of 2^32. In the normal case via
e820_setup_gap we search till 2^32.

Please apply this too.

e820_search_gap also take a end_addr parameter to limit search from
start_addr to end_addr.
