Actually I would like to set this default Y. I was just wondering if
people like this feature or not at the beginning so I had to be more
careful.

Did you mean kernstart_virt_addr? It should be kernstart_virt_addr.

I'm not assuming that but I haven't tested that case for now. I will 
reconsider and test these scenarios and fix all bugs.
