mostrows@watson.ibm.com 30d8caf7c6 [POWERPC] Editable kernel command-line in zImage binary.
zImage will set /chosen/bootargs (if it is otherwise empty) with the
contents of a buffer in the section "__builtin_cmdline".  This permits
tools to edit zImage binaries to set the command-line eventually
processed by vmlinux.

Paul Mackerras 66a45dd362 powerpc: Make COFF zImages for old 32-bit powermacs
This adds code to build zImage.coff and/or zImage.initrd.coff when
CONFIG_PPC32 and CONFIG_PPC_PMAC are defined.  It also restructures
the OF client code and adds some workarounds for OF quirks on the
older machines.

Paul Mackerras 94b212c29f powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc
This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well
as 64-bit ones.  This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit
powermacs (i.e. all recent machines).
