Gah, I managed to forget that relative targets obviously need to be signed values,
and I also forgot to account for the size of the JMP in the assert.  Go me.

Maybe express this as:

	TEST_ASSERT(TD_BOOT_CODE_SIZE + 2 < 128,
		    "TD boot code not addressable by 'JMP rel8'");

I think I lucked into getting this right though?
