File 0003-modules-Don-t-allocate-space-for-non-allocable-secti.patch of Package grub2

Subject: [PATCH 03/28] 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.
