Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: move kernel behind CFE
CFE will load itself to offset 4 MiB (or 6 MiB) in memory occupying a
bit over one MiB. Traditionally the kernel will get linked to and loaded
at offset 64k.
This will pose a problem if the kernel size reaches 4 MiB - 64 kB, as
CFE will start overwriting itself. This can easily happen by including a
ramdisk image in the kernel.
While for net-booted elf kernels this can be worked around by wrapping
them in a lzma boot loader, on-flash images require the kernel to be
lzma compressed. This would cause inefficient double compression.
Luckily we have full control over where the kernel will be extracted to
and the entry point to be called, so move the kernel to behind CFE.
