Replace the deprecated one-element array with a modern flexible array

Additionally, 15 unnecessary bytes are allocated for hdesc, but instead

15? unnecessary?

hvtramp_mapping is 16 bytes and the size is calculated as follows:

   (16 * num_kernel_image_mappings - 1)

which is 15 bytes too many for any number of mappings because hdesc
includes the first map. It probably should have been:

   16 * (num_kernel_image_mappings - 1)

Ah yes, that opening parenthesis before `sizeof(struct hvtramp_mapping)`
was misplaced.


unless I'm missing something.

It seems this struct is a candidate for `__counted_by()`

Yes, but sparc doesn't seem to support it?

Now the code is broken because it's allocating `num_kernel_image_mappings - 1`
elements instead of `num_kernel_image_mappings`.

Ah sorry, missed that and will fix in v2 shortly.

Thanks
