edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off}

Browse Source 
Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk
Drive Services.  CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into
the kernel.  Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as
a kernel parameter.

Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the
kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set
