The stage 3 loader size has to be a multiple of the filesystem
blocksize so that the signature maps with the later in memory
stage 3 loader. The lowest common blocksize is 4k so the image
is padded to a 4k boundary.

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

Old implementation was using Test Protection (TPROT) instruction to
validate the memory page. Given that it is a rather slow instruction and
the fact that we only need to validate the read-access for a page, we can
use simple Load or Insert Character instruction to test that.
The new version of page_is_valid() without a TPROT is introduced.

Compilers in Debian and Ubuntu default to enabling PIE for all binaries.
This is a poor fit for boot loader code that has strict requirements
for its layout. Hence always forcefully disable PIE.
As older compilers still need to be supported, no-pie usage is
conditional on CC's -dumpspecs output.
