Currently we set the start of the .text section to be 4Mb for pSeries.
In situations where the zImage is > 8Mb we'll fail to boot (due to
overlapping with OF). Move .text in a zImage from 4MB to 64MB
(well past OF).
We still will not be able to load large zImage unless we also move OF,
to that end, add a note to the zImage ELF to move OF to 32Mb. If this
is the very first kernel booted then we'll need to move OF manually by
setting real-base.

platforms
Commit 2e6016133755eb3cc44e8efab92573d23ed75888 split up
arch/powerpc/boot/of.c so that some OF functions can be used on
platforms that don't want to use the overall OF platform boot code.
This is useful on things like PReP which can have an OF implementation
which is useful for debugging output, but inadequate for booting.
However, that commit didn't export quite enough things to make a
usable OF console on a non-OF system. In particular, the device tree
manipulation performed to initialize the OF console code must
explicitly use the OF device tree, rather than the flattened device
tree, even if the system is otherwise booting using a flattened device
tree. This makes it so.

Currently, all OF-related code in the bootloader is contained in of.c.
of.c also provides the platform specific things necessary to boot on
an OF platform.
However, there are platforms (such as PReP) which can include an OF
implementation, but are not bootable as pure OF systems. For use by
such platforms, this patch splits out the low-level parts of the OF
code (call_prom() and various wrappers thereof) into a new oflib.c
file. In addition, the code related to bootwrapper console output via
OF are moved to a new ofconsole.c file. Both these files are included
in the wrapper.a library where they can be used by both full-OF and
partial OF platforms.
