As for the rest of Geoff's patch, I think I get the gist of what's going
on but it would be really nice to have it described in English (and put
in the patch description).  That way others (like me) could understand
the problem you're solving and what your solution is.

This is from the comment the patch adds to the wrapper script.  I think
it gives you what you need:

+ps3)
+    # The ps3's loader supports loading gzipped binary images from flash
+    # rom to addr zero. The loader enters the image at addr 0x100.  A
+    # bootwrapper overlay is use to arrange for the kernel to be loaded
+    # to addr zero and to have a suitable bootwrapper entry at 0x100.
+    # To construct the rom image, 0x100 bytes from offset 0x100 in the
+    # kernel is copied to the bootwrapper symbol __system_reset_kernel.
+    # The 0x100 bytes at the bootwrapper symbol __system_reset_overlay is
+    # then copied to offset 0x100.  At runtime the bootwrapper program
+    # copies the 0x100 bytes at __system_reset_kernel to addr 0x100.

Yes, that was what I needed.  I should have found that myself...my apologies.
