The TL;DR is that we were placing the DT on 127mb.  This might
overwrite previously loaded binaries. The efi-stub of the linux kernel
doesn't use the DTB in place.  Instead, it copies it and adds some
nodes for the efi-stub -> kernel proper handover (e.g a kaslr-seed).
So we as far as linux is concerned we are free to place the DT
wherever we want.

Unless people from risc-v want this in *now*, we are better of landing
this in -next.

This can wait.  This fixes one minor issue on the SystemReady Security
extensions test suite. This is a test suite (mostly running as EFI
apps) from Arm to check conformance for UEFI Secure Boot and Measured
boot.
