Julius Werner 9665d389e4 libpayload: dma_malloc: Prevent warm reboot problems and add debugging
Since the DMA memory is allocated by Coreboot (outside of the payload's
linker script), it won't get zeroed upon loading like the heap.
Therefore, a warm reboot that doesn't reset memory may leave stale
malloc cookies lying around and misinterpret them as memory that is
still in use on the next boot. After several boots this may fill up the
whole DMA memory and lead to OOM conditions.

Therefore, this patch explicitly wipes the first cookie in
init_dma_memory() to prevent that from happening. It also expands the
existing memory allocator debugging code to cover the DMA parts, which
was very helpful in identifying this particular problem.
