+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: move kernel behind CFE
+
+CFE will load itself to offset 4 MiB (or 6 MiB) in memory occupying a
+bit over one MiB. Traditionally the kernel will get linked to and loaded
+at offset 64k.
+This will pose a problem if the kernel size reaches 4 MiB - 64 kB, as
+CFE will start overwriting itself. This can easily happen by including a
+ramdisk image in the kernel.
+While for net-booted elf kernels this can be worked around by wrapping
+them in a lzma boot loader, on-flash images require the kernel to be
+lzma compressed. This would cause inefficient double compression.
+
+Luckily we have full control over where the kernel will be extracted to
+and the entry point to be called, so move the kernel to behind CFE.
