[PATCH v2 013/113] efi: payload: image: allocate image via loader if it exceeds malloc area

[Ahmad Fatoum]

barebox allocates at maximum 256M for its own use when running as EFI
payload. With bigger kernel images and initrds, this may exceed the
space barebox has available, especially if decompression needs to happen
within barebox.

In that case, instead of failing with -ENOMEM, let's ask the EFI
firmware for a suitably sized buffer and read into that if the
allocation succeeds.
