[PATCH v2 4/7] Update Elf-ppc to support crash kernel and misc fixes

Tue Jul 20 16:14:57 EDT 2010


Use current command line if none given, specifically useful for
when arguments are added causing the use of the current cmdline
to not occur

We also try to load the dtb above the kernel, this is useful for
relocatable kernels where they device tree needs to reside just
above the kernel base address

Set the kernel entry address in the relocatable purgatory code
so we jump to the correct start address if not the default. Useful
for relocatable kernels
