Zide Chen cf1515d63c hv: optimize the assignment of load addresses for multiboot images
bootargs_load_addr (GPA) and zero page which locates at one page follows it:
- SOS: currently it's fixed at 0x24EFC000. Theoretically, this address may
  not exist if the system has small memory size.
- pre-launched VMs: currently it's at (vm_config->memory.size - 8KB).
  It doesn't work if the guest has been assigned for more than 4GB memory
  size, because zero page must be under 4GB.
- This patch reserves 8KB for bootargs_load_addr right before kernel_load_addr
  for either SOS or pre-launched VMs.

ramdisk_load_addr (GPA):
- pre-launched VMs: currently it doesn't allow ramdisk.
- SOS: currently it's assigned at mods[].mm_mod_start. It's a bug because it
  misses the hpa2gpa() conversion.
- This patch puts ramdisk_load_addr right after (kernel_load_addr + kernel_size),
  which has 2 benefits:
  - for pre-launched VMs, mods[].mm_mod_start may be out of its GPA range.
  - it may be better to consolidate everything (bootarg, kernel, ramdisk) in
    consecutive GPA, other than spread them out in different places.
