The way we use the base of DRAM in the EFI stub is problematic as it
is ill defined what the base of DRAM actually means. There are some
restrictions on the placement of FDT and initrd which are defined in
terms of dram_base, but given that the placement of the kernel in
memory is what defines these boundaries, it is better to use the image
address in these cases, and disregard dram_base altogether.
In a future patch, we should be able to get rid of dram_base entirely,
but at the moment, RISC-V support is in flight in another tree, so we
keep it around for now.
