Nico Huber 425973cf42 libpayload: Always use virtual pointers in struct sysinfo_t
We had mixed virtual and physical pointers in struct sysinfo_t. Some
being virtual by accident which led to problems when we tried to
reinitialize lib_sysinfo after relocating FILO (to get intentionally
virtual pointers valid again). I guess this didn't cause much trouble
before, as lib_get_sysinfo() was always called with physical addresses
being equal to their virtual counterparts.

For FILO, two possibilities seem practical: Either, have all pointers in
struct sysinfo_t physical, so relocation doesn't hurt. Or, have all
pointers virtual and call lib_get_sysinfo() again after relocation.

This patch goes the latter way, changing the following pointers for
situations where virtual pointers differ from physical:
  .extra_version
  .build
  .compile_time
  .compile_by
  .compile_host
  .compile_domain
  .compiler
  .linker
  .assembler
  .cb_version
  .vdat_addr
  .tstamp_table
  .cbmem_cons
  .mrc_cache
We could also just correct the accidentally virtual pointers. But, IMO,
this would lower the risk of future confusion.

Note 1: Looks like .version gets never set.

Note 2: .option_table and .framebuffer were virtual pointers but treated
        like physical ones. Even in FILO, this led to no problems as
        they were set before relocation.
