Since QEMU 2.1, we are allocating more space for ACPI tables, so no
space is left after initrd for the BIOS to allocate memory.
Besides ACPI tables, there are a few other uses of high memory in
SeaBIOS: SMBIOS tables and USB drivers use it in particular. These uses
allocate a very small amount of memory. Malloc metadata also lives
there. So we need _some_ extra padding there to avoid initrd breakage,
but not much.
John Snow found a case where RHEL5 was broken by the recent change to
ACPI_TABLE_SIZE; in his case 4KB of extra padding are fine, but just to
be safe I am adding 32KB, which is roughly the same amount of padding
that was left by QEMU 2.0 and earlier.
Move initrd to leave some space for the BIOS.
