Please find attached my revised patch. This includes the following 
change over my original patch:

1) Olaf's suggestion of using _end removes the calculation making things 
smaller, neater
    and less complex.

2)  The comment about where to start has been improved.

3) In extended testing I found a platform with ancient firmware 
(different than the platform
    that started all of this) that has a similar problem with claim. The 
fix was to enforce the
    PROG_START value as the absolute minimum.
