Right, so the reason your system isn't booting is because of the
additional section in the zImage, which causes additional bytes
after _edata.

That causes the appending of the dtb to be in the wrong place,
so it doesn't get found.

With Arnd's patch applied, if you do:

dd if=arch/arm/boot/zImage bs=1 count=$(( $(stat -c %s arch/arm/boot/zImage) - 8)) of=zImg
cat zImg $dtb > zImg.boot

and then try booting zImg.boot instead, that should work, and
would prove my point.
