boot was not actually ever tested on 64b, its ELF loading was assuming
32b. I have now fixed it upstream and uploaded a -3 package, which
should get built & uploaded soonish.

FI, apparently ATM when using a file as image, libstore uses 1-byte
block size, and thus disk sizes should be smaller than 2G otherwise
boot's device size reporting interface gets wrong.
