Just a little nit, but some people might be interested, as part
of the "Various ppc64 & chrp fixes by Peter Bergner", we also
added support for booting compressed images (ie, zImage).
As in objcopy ... && gzip -9 or the 'zImage' target?  They aren't exactly
the same..
I've booted a zImage.rs6k-chrp from yaboot 1.2.5.
That almost sounds silly.  I guess I should try and find the code, but I'm
guessing it copies from an FS into memory and then runs that?  yaboot doesn't
do compression yet, yes?
