[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 16/17] sandbox: Allow to execute from RAM

[Alexander Graf]

With efi_loader, we may want to execute payload from RAM. By default,
permissions on the RAM region don't allow us to execute from there though.

So whenever we get into the efi_loader case, let's mark RAM as executable.
That way we still protect normal cases, but allow for efi binaries to
directly get executed from within RAM.

For this, we hook into the already existing allow_unaligned() call which
also transitions the system over into semantics required by the UEFI
specification.
