[patch 35/43] ppc64 boot: print firmware provided stackpointer

From: Olaf Hering <olh at suse.de>

Show firmware provided stackpointer during boot.

This helps to find the "taboo" areas on the various boards.  claim tends to
fail for these memory areas, but some jokers return success anyway.

Use %p to print the load address, its a pointer.
