In commit e6b2b20d97 we made the boot loader code try to avoid
putting the initrd on top of the kernel. However the expression used
to calculate the start of the initrd:
info->initrd_start = info->loader_start +
MAX(MIN(info->ram_size / 2, 128 * 1024 * 1024), kernel_size);
incorrectly uses 'kernel_size' as the offset within RAM of the
highest address to avoid. This is incorrect because the kernel
doesn't start at address 0, but slightly higher than that. This
means that we can still incorrectly end up overlaying the initrd on
the kernel in some cases, for example:
* The kernel's image_size is 0x0a7a8000
* The kernel was loaded at 0x40080000
* The end of the kernel is 0x4A828000
* The DTB was loaded at 0x4a800000
To get this right we need to track the actual highest address used
by the kernel and use that rather than kernel_size. We already
set image_low_addr and image_high_addr for ELF images; set them
also for the various other image types we support, and then use
image_high_addr as the lowest allowed address for the initrd.
(We don't use image_low_addr, but we set it for consistency
with the existing code path for ELF files.)
