At present, the zImage entry code passes a copy of the stack pointer
to the start() function.  There's no real reason for this; the only
thing start() does with it is print it out.  It appears to be a
leftover debugging hack, so, this patch removes it.

It helps to determine the firmware memory layout.

How, why is that useful, and where is that ever used?
