Our targets use littlekernel (an Android bootloader), so the
zImage+DTB is combined with an initrd using mkbootimage.

The first time I tried the append patches (not this version), I did
end up having to use JTAG to debug it, and even then the problem was
confusing, since a bug was causing it to move all of the code around
in memory, but some was still cached.

Are you getting far enough to print messages with DEBUG_LL?
