[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: fix memory allocation on sandbox

Commit 7b78d6438a2b ("efi_loader: Reserve unaccessible memory") introduced a comparison between RAM top and RAM start that was not known at the time when the patch of commit 49759743bf09 ("efi_loader: eliminate sandbox addresses") was written.
The sandbox uses an address space that is only relevant in the sandbox context. We have to map ram_top from the sandbox address space to the physical address space before using it in the EFI subsystem.

I'm not a big fan of using a u64 to store a pointer. By using ulong for addresses and void * for pointers, we can make bugs like this easier to spot.
