The "corruption" is fine - it's just both cores chatting at the same time.

I made a small mistake in the refactoring of copy_and_run that affected 
only the coreboot_apc codepath (which I can't test).

compresses to that location, it jumped to a hardcoded entry point of 
_iseg - which works for all scenarios but coreboot_apc.

With the change, the dst value is used for all cases.

Please try attached patch which should fix it. It's tested to run in the 
non-APC codepath and is
