The way I'm restructuring things around this is that AUTO_ZRELADDR will 
always be active by default, just like ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT now.  This 
platform specific exclusion thinking is a step backward so I'd prefer if 
people would refrain from going there for the moment.

Are you expecting everyone to change the way they load the zImage
overnight then?

No, of course.  But adding restrictions in the kernel build because 
u-Boot's own image format dictates such restrictions doesn't make sense.  
Those restrictions must be pushed towards the uImage encapsulation step, 
not higher the kernel config hierarchy.
