DINK32 loads the linear array of bits that comprise the zImage at 0x90000
(576KB).  The standard bootloader always relocates to 0x800000 (8MB) and
continues running.  The bootloader then uncompresses the included
vmlinux.gz and places it at the start of RAM (0MB).

You don't need to do a thing, all is well. :)
