Subject: [PATCH] mptable: Don't create mptable if it is very large

Very large mptable structures can fill up the space in the f-segment
and cause other important f-segment allocations to fail.  Limit the
maximum size of the mptable to prevent this.

On QEMU, with the current maximum size of 600 bytes, the mptable will
not be created in configurations of ~20 cpus or more.  The mptable is
rarely used in modern OSes so this should not be a problem.
