why does CONFIG_NONSTATIC_KERNEL affect the boot kernel?

[Chris Friesen]

Hi,

Looking at the kdump code for powerpc, I see that if 
CONFIG_NONSTATIC_KERNEL is not set then the load address for the capture 
kernel is fixed at 32MB.

Why is this?

When using a separate capture kernel I don't see why that should 
restrict where I allocate space in the boot kernel.
