Linux changed its physical address location in the elf header from
0xc0000000 to 0 on 2.6.25, causing later kernels to fail booting
with the -kernel option.
This patch assures that the lowest segment in the elf binary is
loaded
to KERNEL_LOAD_ADDR, which is where the firmware expects it.
With this patch applied, I was able to successfully boot a 2.6.18
and
a 2.6.27 Linux kernel using the -kernel option.
