multiboot2: Set min address for mbi allocation to 0x1000 

In some cases GRUB2 allocates multiboot2 structure at 0 address, that is
a confusing behavior. Consumers of that structure can have internal NULL-checks
that will throw an error when get a pointer to data allocated at address 0.
To prevent that, define min address for mbi allocation on x86 and x86_64
platforms.
