[pcbios] Merge adjacent memory regions of same type
Some BIOSes can report multiple memory regions which may be adjacent
and the same type. Since only the first region is used in the
mboot.c32 layer it's possible to run out of memory when loading all of
the boot modules. One may get around this problem by having iPXE
merge these memory regions internally.
