external/mambo: Error out if kernel is too large
If you're trying to boot a gigantic kernel in mambo (which you can
reproduce by building a kernel with CONFIG_MODULES=n) you'll get
misleading errors like:
WARNING: 0: (0): [0:0]: Invalid/unsupported instr 0x00000000[INVALID]
WARNING: 0: (0): PC(EA): 0x0000000030000010 PC(RA):0x0000000030000010 MSR: 0x9000000000000000 LR: 0x0000000000000000
WARNING: 0: (0): numInstructions = 0
WARNING: 1: (1): [0:0]: Invalid/unsupported instr 0x00000000[INVALID]
WARNING: 1: (1): PC(EA): 0x0000000000000E40 PC(RA):0x0000000000000E40 MSR: 0x9000000000000000 LR: 0x0000000000000000
WARNING: 1: (1): numInstructions = 1
WARNING: 1: (1): Interrupt to 0x0000000000000E40 from 0x0000000000000E40
INFO: 1: (2): ** Execution stopped: Continuous Interrupt, Instruction caused exception, **
So add an error to skiboot.tcl to warn the user before this happens.
Making PAYLOAD_ADDR further back is one way to do this but if there's a
less gross way to generally work around this very niche problem, I can
suggest that instead.
