RAM starts at 0x40000000 for IPQ. The lower 21MB of RAM is used
for Shared Memory and the kernel can start from 0x41500000.

Why do people keep creating crap like this?  Each time something like
this is created, it means that you _need_ to have a special kernel for
your platform and you can't be part of the single zImage.

Please, rather than creating crap like this, find a better way.

In the case of the IPQ, we don't use the zImage because the decompress requires
a larger jump than we can do on that platform.  Having this change at least gets
us back 2MB of memory.
