So the plan is to move all cpu specific code in decompress_kernel() to cpu specific code :)

Including

#ifdef CONFIG_44x
        /* Reset MAL */
        mtdcr(DCRN_MALCR(DCRN_MAL_BASE), MALCR_MMSR);
        /* Wait for reset */
        while (mfdcr(DCRN_MALCR(DCRN_MAL_BASE)) & MALCR_MMSR) {};
        /* Reset EMAC */
        *(volatile unsigned long *)PPC44x_EMAC0_MR0 = 0x20000000;
        __asm__ __volatile__("eieio");
#endif


There are a few changes which are required for embedded targets, for example, passing "bd" 
to serial_init as its 2nd argument. 

Some misc-embedded.c requirements also need to be there, in decompress_kernel().

For example

+#ifdef CONFIG_EMBEDDEDBOOT
+        /* Set end of memory available to us.  It is always the highest
+         * memory address provided by the board information.
+         */
+       end_avail = (char *)(bp->bi_memsize);
+#else
        /* assume the chunk below 8M is free */
        end_avail = (char *)0x00800000;
+#endif

And later "end_avail" setting need to be abstracted away. 

Is that what you mean?
