[Qemu-devel] [PULL 01/24] hw/arm/boot: Don't assume RAM starts at address zero

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

In the Arm kernel/initrd loading code, in some places we make the
incorrect assumption that info->ram_size can be treated as the
address of the end of RAM, as for instance when we calculate the
available space for the initrd using "info->ram_size - info->initrd_start".
This is wrong, because many Arm boards (including "virt") specify
a non-zero info->loader_start to indicate that their RAM area
starts at a non-zero physical address.

Correct the places which make this incorrect assumption.
