Well, it seems to work here but it still doesn't look reliable enough to
me. And this addon_zo thing of arbitrary 256K is strange.

What we should do instead and IMHO is have a special setup_data section
located right above .text where struct setup_data things are put in so
that they never get overwritten. This should be the cleanest IMHO.

It is hpa's call in the end of the day anyway.

Thanks.
