Keep track of useful information like where preloaded metadata and modules
are. On some firmwares (SLOF) OF_claim() does not reduce the size of the
available array, meaning that these data (a) can be overwritten and (b)
are not mapped into the kernel's address space except by accident in the
direct-mapped case. loader provides the kernel with the end of the
metadata + modules, mapped immediately after the kernel, so just replace
endkernel by loader's KERNEND variable, if available.

The kernel now boots on emulated POWER7 hardware to probing the device
tree (where it stops due to lack of drivers) without any hacks.

Note: this patch also affects PS3, and should be merged to HEAD after some
more testing.
