Subject: [PATCH] modules: Don't allocate space for non-allocable sections.

Currently when loading grub modules, we allocate space for all sections,

including those without SHF_ALLOC set.  We then copy the sections that

/do/ have SHF_ALLOC set into the allocated memory, leaving some of our

allocation untouched forever.  Additionally, on platforms with GOT

fixups and trampolines, we currently compute alignment round-ups for the

sections and sections with sh_size = 0.

This patch removes the extra space from the allocation computation, and

makes the allocation computation loop skip empty sections as the loading

loop does.
