Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0c9fa29149 powerpc/zImage: make the "OF" wrapper support ePAPR boot
This makes the "OF" zImage wrapper (zImage.pseries, zImage.pmac,
zImage.maple) work if booted via a flat device-tree (ePAPR boot
mode), and thus potentially usable with kexec.

David Gibson 6c5b59b913 powerpc/boot: Add an ePAPR compliant boot wrapper
This is a first cut at making bootwrapper code which will
produce a zImage compliant with the requirements set down
by ePAPR.

This is a very simple bootwrapper, taking the device tree
blob supplied by the ePAPR boot program and passing it on
to the kernel. It builds on the earlier patch to build a
relocatable ET_DYN zImage to meet the other ePAPR image
requirements.

For good measure we have some paranoid checks which will
generate warnings if some of the ePAPR entry condition
guarantees are not met.
