The zipl internal loader adds a variable BOOT_IMAGE= to the commandline
so that it is visible in the operating system which menu entry has been
chosen.
This entry was overwritten by the stage3 parameter page.
Fix by re-arranging the internal memory layout and putting the command
line extra param, which contains the BOOT_IMAGE entry, at 0xe000.
This location is available because less than one page is used for the
stack.

The first component that gets control after IPL is the zIPL-provided
stage 3 boot loader. This boot loader is based on a binary image linked
into the zIPL executable. When preparing a disk for IPL, zIPL updates
runtime parameters in the boot loader image and writes the resulting
data to disk.
To support the Secure Boot firmware feature, the stage 3 code must be
signed, and can therefore no longer contain variable parameter portions.
Also the boot loader image should be accessible as a separate file to
enable the use of external programs for creating the signature.
This patch moves the stage 3 boot loader code to an external file
location and splits out the parameter portion into a separate, unsigned
on-disk component.
The new memory layout of the stage 3 loader during its execution looks
as follows:
* 0x0000-0x1fff Lowcore
* 0x2000-0x5fff Memory allocation (heap)
* 0x7000-0x8fff free
* 0x9000-0x9fff Stage3 parameter
* 0xa000-0xcfff Stage3 code
* 0xd000-0xefff Section: bss, rodata, data
* 0xf000-0xffff Stack
