Subject: powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~1058^2~86
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels

Currently we set the start of the .text section to be 4Mb for pSeries.
In situations where the zImage is > 8Mb we'll fail to boot (due to
overlapping with OF).  Move .text in a zImage from 4MB to 64MB
(well past OF).

We still will not be able to load large zImage unless we also move OF,
to that end, add a note to the zImage ELF to move OF to 32Mb.  If this
is the very first kernel booted then we'll need to move OF manually by
setting real-base.
