My latest patchset is here:

  git://git.linaro.org/people/nico/linux zImage_DTB_append

I'm not fully satisfied to send them upstream yet though.

These patches do appear to still work on MSM.

Hm I wonder what is wrong on our end, probably our own fault :-/

Arey you encapsulating the zImage+DTB in a uImage like I do
(so as to use with elder U-Boot) or are you using some other
method to get the zImage+DTB into the system?

Our targets use littlekernel (an Android bootloader), so the
zImage+DTB is combined with an initrd using mkbootimage.

The first time I tried the append patches (not this version), I did
end up having to use JTAG to debug it, and even then the problem was
confusing, since a bug was causing it to move all of the code around
in memory, but some was still cached.

Are you getting far enough to print messages with DEBUG_LL?

Nope :-(

So it'll be JTAG if I should get further with this.
