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.

The MP table provides a way for the operating system to support
for symmetric multiprocessing as well as symmetric I/O interrupt
handling with the local APIC and I/O APIC. We provide a bunch of
APIs for U-Boot to write the floating table, configuration table
header as well as base and extended table entries.

This provides a way of passing information to Linux without requiring the
full ACPI horror. Provide a rudimentary implementation sufficient to be
recognised and parsed by Linux.

It should be #ifdef instead of #if.

We can write the configuration table in last_stage_init() for all x86
boards, but not with coreboot since coreboot already has them.
