make MemoryMap own its buffer (Vec)

[DaniD3v]

To save your system Memory Map you need to call boot_services.memory_map_size() and allocate. I don't think doing this is possible without heap allocations? If that's the case why not just make MemoryMap own a vector, make memory_map_size() private (to increase usability) and remove the lifetime on MemoryMap?

I don't think there would be any downsides to doing that. I don't have a lot of experience in either UEFI or OSdev so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

You're in luck, there's a PR in progress to do exactly that: #1175

Yes, I'm working in that currently! I hope I can continue working on it in the next couple of days
