-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.
