    x86: handle initrd that extends into unusable memory
    
    On a system where system memory (according e820) is not covered by
    mtrr, mtrr_trim_memory converts a portion of memory to reserved, but
    bootloader has already put the initrd in that range.
    
    Thus, we need to have 64bit to use relocate_initrd too.
    
    [ Impact: fix using initrd when mtrr_trim_memory happen ]
