My first reaction when I saw this thread was that you didn't allocate 
something in memory and overlapped something.  However, looking
at your original post again, I think your kernel is growing larger than
4MB, which is the link address of the zImage.  This is based on the 
kernel is decompressed to address 0 in
ppc/boot/simple/misc-embedded.c, and a 50% compression factor 
and 2MB compressed image.

You can look at the file size of vmlinux to see if this is close.
