The problem is that _end no longer matches the end of the load segment.
Previously, the .data.init_task section was the last allocated item in
the linker script, now the last item is an align.  This align does not
affect the memsize of the segment.  The startup code expects the boot
info to be placed at _end, but the boot loader puts it at the end of the
load segment, which is the best it can do.
