This patch adds an optional function pointer, 'elf_note_fn', to
load_elf() which causes load_elf() to additionally parse any
ELF program headers of type PT_NOTE and check to see if the ELF
Note is of the type specified by the 'translate_opaque' arg.
If a matching ELF Note is found then the specfied function pointer
is called to process the ELF note.
Passing a NULL function pointer results in ELF Notes being skipped.
The first consumer of this functionality is the PVHboot support
which needs to read the XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_ENTRY ELF Note while
loading the uncompressed kernel binary in order to discover the
boot entry address for the x86/HVM direct boot ABI.

noload kernels are loaded with the u-boot image header and as a result
the header size needs adding to the entry point. Fake up a hdr so the
kernel image is loaded at the right address and the entry point is
adjusted appropriately.
The default location for the uboot file is 32MiB above bottom of DRAM.
This matches the recommendation in Documentation/arm/Booting.
Clarify the load_uimage API to state the passing of a load address when an
image doesn't specify one, or when loading a ramdisk is expected.
Adjust callers of load_uimage, etc.
