Subject: [PATCH 04/11] Try to pick better locations for kernel and initrd

- Don't limit allocations on 64-bit platforms to < 0x[37f]fffffff if
  we're using the "large" code model ; use __UINTPTR_MAX__.
- Get the comparison right to check the address we've allocated.
- Fix the allocation for the command line as well.

*But*, when we did this some systems started failing badly; coudln't
parse partition tables, etc.  What's going on here is the disk controller
is silently failing DMAs to addresses above 4GB, so we're trying to parse
uninitialized (or HW zeroed) ram when looking for the partition table,
etc.

So to limit this, we make grub_malloc() pick addresses below 4GB on
x86_64, but the direct EFI page allocation functions can get addresses
above that.

Additionally, we now try to locate kernel+initrd+cmdline+etc below
0x7fffffff, and if they're too big to fit any memory window there, then
we try a higher address.
