API: Use stack pointer as API signature search hint in the glue layer.
De-hardcode range in RAM we search for the API signature. Instead use the stack
pointer as a hint to narrow down the range in which the signature could reside
(it is malloc'ed on the U-Boot heap, and is hoped to remain in some proximity
from stack area). Adjust PowerPC code in API demo to the new scheme.
