x86, boot: correct sanity checks in boot/compressed/misc.c
arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c contains several sanity checks on the output address. Correct constraints that are no longer correct: - the alignment test should be MIN_KERNEL_ALIGN on both 32 and 64 bits. - the 64 bit maximum address was set to 2^40, which was the limit of one specific x86-64 implementation. Change the test to 2^46, the current Linux limit, and at least try to test the end rather than the beginning. - for non-relocatable kernels, test against LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR on both 32 and 64 bits. [ Impact: fix potential boot failure due to invalid tests ] Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
