spapr: Use address from elf parser for kernel address
tl;dr: This allows Big Endian zImage booting via -kernel + x-vof=on. QEMU loads the kernel at 0x400000 by default which works most of the time as Linux kernels are relocatable, 64bit and compiled with "-pie" (position independent code). This works for a little endian zImage too. However a big endian zImage is compiled without -pie, is 32bit, linked to 0x4000000 so current QEMU ends up loading it at 0x4400000 but keeps spapr->kernel_addr unchanged so booting fails. This uses the kernel address returned from load_elf(). If the default kernel_addr is used, there is no change in behavior (as translate_kernel_address() takes care of this), which is: LE/BE vmlinux and LE zImage boot, BE zImage does not. If the VM created with "-machine kernel-addr=0,x-vof=on", then QEMU prints a warning and BE zImage boots. Note #1: SLOF (x-vof=off) still cannot boot a big endian zImage as SLOF enables MSR_SF for everything loaded by QEMU and this leads to early crash of 32bit zImage. Note #2: BE/LE vmlinux images set MSR_SF in early boot so these just work; a LE zImage restores MSR_SF after every CI call and we are lucky enough not to crash before the first CI call.
