[PATCH] i386: Relocatable kernel support
This patch modifies the i386 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is
selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below
1G. The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and
modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable. For the main
kernel relocations are generated. Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable
with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code.
A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned
to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running.
