x86: Generate a valid MultiProcessor (MP) table

Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table.
This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header
and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt
assignment table entry is created based on the same information used
in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check
duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O
interrupt entries with the same information.

Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we
need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for
PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel
will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral
interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the
multicore hardware and the SMP kernel.
