    [POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve prep_kernel() · 79c85419
    David Gibson authored
    This patch rewrites prep_kernel() in the zImage wrapper code to be
    clearer and more flexible.  Notable changes:
    
    	- Handling of the initrd image from prep_kernel() has moved
    into a new prep_initrd() function.
    	- The address of the initrd image is now added as device tree
    properties, as the kernel expects.
    	- We only copy a packaged initrd image to a new location if it
    is in danger of being clobbered when the kernel moves to its final
    location, instead of always.
    	- By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0,
    instead of requiring it to relocate itself.  Platforms (such as OF)
    where doing this could clobber still-live firmware data structures can
    override the vmlinux_alloc hook to provide an alternate place to
    decompress the kernel.
    	- We no longer pass lots of information between functions in
    global variables.
