CoverityScan was warning about use of tainted pointers on memory
re-allocations and frees as well as mistrusted data read from the
/proc/self/maps. This fix addresses these issues by keeping a
record of all allocations and sanity checking pointers on re-allocs
and frees so that we can be sure we can trust the pointers to
the memory regions. The fix also performs some more robust
sanity range checks on address ranges read from /proc/self/maps.
Since fwts only makes 50 or so low memory allocations for cached
ACPI data we don't need a large hash table; 509 slots were used
as a prime sized hash tables work well with power of two sized
data to hash, plus we normally end up with direct hashing into
the table so we get fast lookup.
