This is wrong. struct image_data stores the entry to the image relative
to the image start, not as absolute address.

The architecture support already handles this correctly:

./arch/nios2/lib/bootm.c:43:    kernel = (void *)(idata->os_address + idata->os_entry);
./arch/ppc/lib/ppclinux.c:76:   kernel = (void *)(data->os_address + data->os_entry);
./arch/arm/lib/bootm.c:58:      kernel = data->os_res->start + data->os_entry;
./arch/blackfin/lib/blackfin_linux.c:48:        appl = (void*)(idata->os_address + idata->os_entry);

What's missing is that we have to set data->os_entry to the correct
offset taken from the uImage.

Subject: [PATCH] bootm: handle image entry point correctly

The uImage format stores the entry point to the image in the ih_ep
field. Honor this field.
