Subject: [PATCH] modules: Don't allocate space for non-allocable sections.
Currently when loading grub modules, we allocate space for all sections,
including those without SHF_ALLOC set. We then copy the sections that
/do/ have SHF_ALLOC set into the allocated memory, leaving some of our
allocation untouched forever. Additionally, on platforms with GOT
fixups and trampolines, we currently compute alignment round-ups for the
sections and sections with sh_size = 0.
This patch removes the extra space from the allocation computation, and
makes the allocation computation loop skip empty sections as the loading
loop does.
