[PATCH 01/11] [POWERPC] bootwrapper: Allow specifying of image physical offset

Kumar Gala galak at kernel.crashing.org
Tue Apr 1 13:08:25 EST 2008


Normally we assume kernel images will be loaded at offset 0. However
there are situations, like when the kernel itself is running at a non-zero
physical address, that we don't want to load it at 0.

Allow the wrapper to take an offset.  We use this when building u-boot images.
