1b57bd4f2f4993104a5cb48912435396faa10d58 loader: fix undefined behavior in rom_order_compare()
According to ISO C99 / N1256 (referenced in HACKING):
> 6.5.8 Relational operators
>
> 4 For the purposes of these operators, a pointer to an object that is
> not an element of an array behaves the same as a pointer to the first
> element of an array of length one with the type of the object as its
> element type.
>
> 5 When two pointers are compared, the result depends on the relative
> locations in the address space of the objects pointed to. If two
> pointers to object or incomplete types both point to the same object,
> or both point one past the last element of the same array object, they
> compare equal. If the objects pointed to are members of the same
> aggregate object, pointers to structure members declared later compare
> greater than pointers to members declared earlier in the structure,
> and pointers to array elements with larger subscript values compare
> greater than pointers to elements of the same array with lower
> subscript values. All pointers to members of the same union object
> compare equal. If the expression /P/ points to an element of an array
> object and the expression /Q/ points to the last element of the same
> array object, the pointer expression /Q+1/ compares greater than /P/.
> In all other cases, the behavior is undefined.
Our AddressSpace objects are allocated generally individually, and kept in
the "address_spaces" linked list, so we mustn't compare their addresses
with relops.
Convert the pointers subjected to the relop in rom_order_compare() to
"uintptr_t":
> 7.18.1.4 Integer types capable of holding object pointers
>
> 1 [...]
>
> The following type designates an unsigned integer type with the
> property that any valid pointer to void can be converted to this type,
> then converted back to pointer to void, and the result will compare
> equal to the original pointer:
>
> /uintptr_t/
>
> These types are optional.
