/*
* Relocate a kernel image, either compressed or uncompressed.
* In the ARM64 case, all kernel images are currently
* uncompressed, and as such when we relocate it we need to
* allocate additional space for the BSS segment. Any low
* memory that this function should avoid needs to be
* unavailable in the EFI memory map, as if the preferred
* address is not available the lowest available address will
* be used.
/**
* efi_relocate_kernel() - copy memory area
* @image_addr: pointer to address of memory area to copy
* @image_size: size of memory area to copy
* @alloc_size: minimum size of memory to allocate, must be greater or
* equal to image_size
* @preferred_addr: preferred target address
* @alignment: minimum alignment of the allocated memory area. It
* should be a power of two.
* @min_addr: minimum target address
*
* Copy a memory area to a newly allocated memory area aligned according
* to @alignment but at least EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN. If the preferred address
* is not available, the allocated address will not be below @min_addr.
* On exit, @image_addr is updated to the target copy address that was used.
*
* This function is used to copy the Linux kernel verbatim. It does not apply
* any relocation changes.
*
* Return: status code
