I've picked a few patches that were obviously correct and made sense.
Overall, I think we should allow for real UEFI binaries to run in
sandbox and the only way to get there is to have sandboxed U-Boot live
in the same address space as what it thinks it lives in.

For the selftest bits I'd like to see acks from Heinrich, so I didn't
pick those up yet. They seem to make good sense to me though.
