Subject: [PATCH] powerpc-ieee1275: load grub at 4MB, not 2MB

This was first reported under PFW but reproduces under SLOF.

 - The core.elf was 2126152 = 0x207148 bytes in size with the following
   program headers (per readelf):

Entry point 0x200000
There are 4 program headers, starting at offset 52

Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  LOAD           0x000160 0x00200000 0x00200000 0x21f98 0x2971c RWE 0x8
  GNU_STACK      0x0220f8 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0x4
  LOAD           0x0220f8 0x00232000 0x00232000 0x1e4e50 0x1e4e50 RWE 0x4
  NOTE           0x206f48 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00200 0x00000 R   0x4

 - SLOF places the ELF file at 0x4000 (after the reserved space for
   interrupt handlers etc.) upwards. The image was 2126152 = 0x207148
   bytes in size, so it runs from 0x4000 - 0x20b148. We'll call 0x4000 the
   load address.

0x0        0x4000         0x20b148
 |----------|--------------|
 | reserved | ELF contents |

 - SLOF then copies the first LOAD program header (for .text). That runs
   for 0x21f98 bytes. It runs from
      (load addr + 0x160) to (load addr + 0x160 + 0x21f98)
    = 0x4160 to 0x260f8
   and we copy it to 0x200000 to 0x221f98. This overwrites the end of the
   image:

0x0       0x4000     0x200000        0x221f98
 |----------|------------|---------------|
 | reserved | ELF cont.. | .text section |

 - SLOF zeros the bss up to PhysAddr + MemSize = 0x22971c

0x0       0x4000      0x200000       0x221f98 0x22971c
 |----------|------------|---------------|--------|
 | reserved | ELF cont.. | .text section | bss 0s |

 - SLOF then goes to fulfil the next LOAD header (for mods), which is
   for 0x1e4e50 bytes. We copy from
      (load addr + 0x220f8) to (load addr + 0x220f8 + 0x1e4e50)
    = 0x260f8 to 0x20af48
   and we copy it to 0x232000 to 0x416e50:

0x0       0x4000      0x200000       0x221f98 0x22971c
 |----------|------------|---------------|--------|
 | reserved | ELF cont.. | .text section | bss 0s |
               |-------------|
               | copied area |
            0x260f8      0x20af48

   This goes poorly:

0x0       0x4000      0x200000       0x221f98 0x22971c 0x232000 0x40bf08      0x416e50
 |----------|------------|---------------|--------|-----|-----------|-------------|
 | reserved | ELF cont.. | .text section | bss 0s | pad | some mods | .text start |

This matches the observations on the running system - 0x40bf08 was where
the contents of memory no longer matched the contents of the ELF file.

This was reported as a license verification failure on SLOF as the
last module's .module_license section fell past where the corruption
began.
