The Android image format makes the same mistake as the U-Boot uImage
format: It makes the load address mandatory. In a way it is even worse
since the 'fastboot' host tool thinks that 0x10000000 is a good default
when no address has been specified on the command line.
Instead of only relying on the Kernel load address in the image try
to automatically find a good base address when requesting the addresses
from the image failed.
