If we cannot relocate the kernel Image to its preferred offset of base of DRAM
plus TEXT_OFFSET, instead relocate it to the lowest available 2 MB boundary plus
TEXT_OFFSET. We may lose a bit of memory at the low end, but we can still
proceed normally otherwise.

Ard, who's picking this up?

Will's already taken this into arm64/devel [1,2] with the intention of
waiting for v3.18 [3]. Per Leif's comment [4] that might have to be
bumped.

So what's the plan with this series? Waiting for 3.18? The problem is
that this patch series needs to be pulled for any platform with an EFI
firmware located at DRAM base (e.g. AMD Seattle) as was noted before.
