    x86/E820: don't overrun array
    
    The bounds check needs to be done after the increment, not before, or
    else it needs to use a one lower immediate. Also use word operations
    rather than byte ones for both the increment and the compare (allowing
    E820_BIOS_MAX to be more easily bumped, should the need ever arise).
