commit 17df768c1e4580f03301d18ea938d3557d441911
    load_image_targphys() should enforce the max size

caused some problems with external kernel and specific ram sizes on s390:

We load the external kernel with

[...]
            kernel_size = load_image_targphys(kernel_filename, 0, ram_size);
[...]

Since load_image_targphys is declared as taking an int for max_sz, this will
fail for ram sizes > INT_MAX.
Lets change the max_sz parameter to a uint64_t.

A patch equivalent to this has already been submitted:
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/146165/
We should be applying that one, it has already been reviewed.

Anthony?

Right.

AFAIK Anthony is on holiday. It would be good, if we could have that before 1.1, so shall
we wait or are there other maintainers willing to accept that patch?

Anthony,

can you apply the patchwork patch for 1.1?
