Command 'bootefi hello' currently uses CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR
as loading address.

qemu machines have by default 128 MiB RAM.
CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR for x86 is 0x20000000 (512 MiB).
This causes 'bootefi hello' to fail.

We should use the environment variable loadaddr if available.
It defaults to 0x1000000 (16 MiB) on qemu_x86.

I'm not terribly happy about that logic. Ideally I would want to have it 
load to *one* explicit address, not multiple ones.

Maybe we could just always memalign() a region?

Alternatively if we can not use memalign, I would rather drop the 
CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR branch and *only* rely on loadaddr.

A user might have deleted loadaddr from the environment.
If we do not fallback to CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR we would have to create an
error message saying that we cannot do without loadaddr.

Shall I adjust the patch in this way?

Best regards

No, let's do it the same way as booti / bootz. Just use the global 
load_addr variable.
