Picked up that old thread from the depth of my mailbox...
I don't see why we need two different zImages. It's easy enough to have
a single one that has an ELF entry point at 0 and a separate one at
0x100 that calls the first one with NULL for the device-tree. The zImage
C code can then use that to know wether it's being booted from kexec or
from the hypervisor directly and do the right thing.
