    efi/x86: add headroom to decompressor BSS to account for setup block · 223e3ee5

    In the bootparams struct, init_size defines the static footprint of the
    bzImage, counted from the start of the kernel image, i.e., startup_32().
    
    The PE/COFF metadata declares the same size for the entire image, but this
    time, the image includes the setup block as well, and so the space reserved
    by UEFI is a bit too small. This usually doesn't matter, since we normally
    relocate the kernel into a memory allocation of the correct size.
    But in the unlikely case that the image happens to be loaded at exactly
    the preferred offset, we skip this relocation, and execute the image in
    place, stepping on memory beyond the provided allocation, which may be
    in use for other purposes.
    
    Let's fix this by adding the size of the setup block to the image size as
    declared in the PE/COFF header.
