Bounce buffers and stack

[steven james]

Greetings,

I'm not sure how that would work?!? The problem only happens when the
first payload doesn't conflict with anything and the second one conflicts
with the LinuxBIOS stack. By that time, the only thing the running code
knows is where ESP was when it started (but not where the top of the stack
is).

I did a test in bootselect where I just move the stack then. That plus a
quick hack to the elf loader (the private copy in baremetal) to allocate
the bounce buffer below the stack helps a lot.

G'day,
sjames
