The following series implements:
* Generic framework for relocatable kernel on PPC32, based on processing
the dynamic relocation entries.
* Relocatable kernel support for 44x
* Kdump support for 44x. Doesn't support 47x yet, as the kexec
support is missing.
Changes from V2:
* Renamed

Now that we have relocatable kernel, supporting CRASH_DUMP only requires
turning the switches on for UP machines.
We don't have kexec support on 47x yet. Enabling SMP support would be done
as part of enabling the PPC_47x support.

The wrapper code which uncompresses the kernel in case of a 'ppc' boot
is by default loaded at 0x0040 and the kernel will be uncompressed
to fit the location 0-0x0040. But with dynamic relocations, the size
of the kernel may exceed 0x0040(4M). This would cause an overlap
of the uncompre
The following patch adds relocatable support for PPC44x kernel.
This enables two types of relocatable kernel support for PPC44x.
1) The old style, mapping based- which restricts the load address to 256M
aligned.
2) The new approach based on processing dynamic relocation entries -
CONFIG_RE
Kexec is not supported on 47x. 47x is a variant of 44x with slightly
different MMU and SMP support. There was a typo in the Kconfig
dependency for KEXEC. This patch fixes the same.

We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based
on the following calculation.
virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) +
MODULO(_stext.run,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE)
relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as
shown bel
The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for
PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates
the kernel image to the same.
Currently the following relocation types are handled :
R_PPC_RELATIVE
R_PPC_ADDR16_LO
R_PPC_ADDR16_
DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(old RELOCATABLE) was restricted only to PPC_47x variants
of 44x. This patch enables DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for 440x based chipsets.

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYN
