[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] multiboot: check mh_load_end_addr address field

[P J P <ppandit@redhat.com>]

From: Prasad J Pandit <pjp@fedoraproject.org>

While loading kernel via multiboot-v1 image, (flags & 0x00010000)
indicates that multiboot header contains valid addresses to load
the kernel image. In that, end of the data segment address
'mh_load_end_addr' should be less than the bss segment address
'mh_bss_end_addr'. Add check to validate that.
