relocation is required, to avoid overlapping phdr in the elf binaries, but
sel4 will fail to boot if bender relocates the images at the end of physical
memory. Limit the physical relocation address to a fixed 256M value, so that
sel4 will work.
Issue #2451
If just one multiboot kernel module was loaded after bender, the
relocation was skipped before. This resulted in a corrupt binary image
on ELF loading if the regions of the boot module and the final program
overlap. Now, all modules are copied below 2 GiB (and out of the way)
before ELF loading.
Fixes#1624
Bender upstream issue is TUD-OS/morbo#4
'Bender' can detect serial ports accessible via PCI and writes the I/O ports
to the Bios Data area (BDA).
Usage together with the PXE bootloader ease life running Genode/NOVA on native
hardware, where a standard serial device isn't available anymore anywhere.
