Normally we assume kernel images will be loaded at offset 0. However
there are situations, like when the kernel itself is running at a non-zero
physical address, that we don't want to load it at 0.

Allow the wrapper to take an offset.  We use this when building u-boot images.

Hrm.  It concerns me that with the patch as it stands,
CONFIG_MEMORY_START looks like a fairly universal option, but it will
only be respected on u-boot platforms (and only new u-boot, not cuboot
at that).
