Indy kernels are linked to 0x88002000.

 Oh well, why can't it be done consistently in our linker script.  The
script does ". = 0x80000000;" -- it's at least confusing, even if the
"-Ttext" option has a priority (does it?).

It has; however the whole concept of how a linker script is interpreted
when used with -Ttext, -Tdata or -Tbss is undocumented.  It seems to be
working fine as long as the address passed to -Ttext is larger than the
address in the script, so the script is using the lowest possible
address which is KSEG0.
