grub2/0239-Try-to-pick-better-locations-for-kernel-and-initrd.patch
Peter Jones 98536ecf37 Once more into the breach, dear friends. 
- Limit grub_malloc() on x86_64 to < 31bit addresses, as some devices seem to
  have a colossally broken storage controller (or UEFI driver) that can't do
  DMA to higher memory addresses, but fails silently.
  Resolves: rhbz#1626844 (possibly really resolving it this time.)
- Also integrate Hans's attempt to fix the related error from -54, but do it
  the other way around: try the low addresses first and *then* the high one if
  the allocation fails.  This way we'll get low regions by default, and if
  kernel/initramfs don't fit anywhere, it'll try the higher addresses.
  Related: rhbz#1624532
- Coalesce all the intermediate debugging junk from -54/-55/-56.

Subject: [PATCH] Try to pick better locations for kernel and initrd
- Don't limit allocations on 64-bit platforms to < 0x[37f]fffffff if
we're using the "large" code model ; use __UINTPTR_MAX__.
- Get the comparison right to check the address we've allocated.
- Fix the allocation for the command line as well.
*But*, when we did this some systems started failing badly; coudln't
parse partition tables, etc. What's going on here is the disk controller
is silently failing DMAs to addresses above 4GB, so we're trying to parse
uninitialized (or HW zeroed) ram when looking for the partition table,
etc.
So to limit this, we make grub_malloc() pick addresses below 4GB on
x86_64, but the direct EFI page allocation functions can get addresses
above that.
Additionally, we now try to locate kernel+initrd+cmdline+etc below
0x7fffffff, and if they're too big to fit any memory window there, then
we try a higher address.
