[Qemu-devel] [PULL 02/24] hw/arm/boot: Diagnose layouts that put initrd or DTB off the end of RAM

[Peter Maydell]

We calculate the locations in memory where we want to put the
initrd and the DTB based on the size of the kernel, since they
come after it. Add some explicit checks that these aren't off the
end of RAM entirely.

(At the moment the way we calculate the initrd_start means that
it can't ever be off the end of RAM, but that will change with
the next commit.)
