[PATCH 11/15] bootwrapper: allow vmlinuz to be an external payload

[Segher Boessenkool]

> Allow the boot wrapper to obtain the vmlinux elf from an external
> platform supplied location instead of embedding it at link time.
>
> When used with the cpio library, the kernel can be stored as a file
> an file in the initramfs, allowing the same (compressed) copy of
> the vmlinux elf to be used for both the kernel to execute and any
> user space tools such as kexec (for reboot), crash dump, or oprofile.

Awesome!
