It may be better to drop the zImage dependency too, so that folk don't get
the message at the end of an otherwise successful kernel build - they may
decide to turn p2v patching off which would result in a rebuild.

Or it could suggest the mkimage command which should be run, but with
<LOAD-ADDRESS> inserted into it at the appropriate point - iow something
like:

  mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none \
	-a <LOAD-ADDRESS> -e <START-ADDRESS> \
	-n 'Linux-$(KERNELRELEASE)' -d arch/arm/boot/zImage uImage.<PLATFORM>
