[PATCH 0/3] kexec: Support for uImage RAMDisks

The following series adds support for uImage RAMDisks in kexec-tools.

The first two patches in the series modifies the common uImage handling code.

The third patch in the series adds PPC support for processing the ramdisks.

NOTE: Tested *only* on PPC. Though the other archs are not affected much,
I would appreciate some help in (compile) testing these patches on ARM and SH,
just to make sure we are safe there.

With these patches, one can easily add support in other archs for supporting
the uImage RAMDisks.
