[PATCH for review] [70/145] x86_64: initialize end of memory variables as early as possible

From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>
While an earlier patch already did a small step into that direction,
this patch moves initialization of all memory end variables to as
early as possible, so that dependent code doesn't need to check
whether these variables have already been set.

Also, remove a misleading (perhaps just outdated) comment, and make
static a variable only used in a single file.
