[PATCH v4 2/5] efi: Show the location of the bounce buffer when debugging

[Simon Glass]

The EFI_LOADER_BOUNCE_BUFFER feature was added many years ago. It is
still needed and 24 boards (lx2160ardb_tfa_stmm,
lx2162aqds_tfa_SECURE_BOOT and the like) use it.

This feature uses EFI page allocation to create a 64MB buffer 'in space'
without any knowledge of where boards intend to load their images. This
may result in image corruption or other problems.

For example, if the feature is enabled on qemu_arm64 it puts the EFI
bounce buffer at 1045MB, with the kernel at 1028MB and the ramdisk at
1088MB. The kernel is probably smaller than 27MB but the buffer does
overlap the ramdisk.

The solution is probably to use BOUNCE_BUFFER instead, with the EFI
version being dropped. For now, show the address of the EFI bounce
buffer so people have a better chance to debug any problem.

In response to questions on how to show this problem:

First, add CONFIG_EFI_LOADER_BOUNCE_BUFFER=y to
configs/qemu_arm64_defconfig and build

Then, to run:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -nographic -cpu cortex-a57 \
   -bios u-boot.bin

The EFI bounce buffer overlaps with the ramdisk.
