[U-Boot] [PATCH] efi_loader: Merge memory map entries

[Alexander Graf]

We currently do not combine memory entries that are adjacent and have
the same attributes. The problem with that is that our memory map can
easily grow multiple hundreds of entries in a simple UEFI Shell
environment.

So let's make sure we always combine all entries to make the memory
map as small as possible. That way every other piece of code that
loops through it should also gain some nice speed ups.
