Re: can't boot mpc5200, powerpc: Enable AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector

Commit 9115d13453dee22473a1e8cacc90a8d64a9c4bc9 ("powerpc: Enable
AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector") broke boot on 32-bit powerpc systems; we
have to use PTRRELOC to initialize powerpc_base_platform this early in
boot.

Bug reported by Jon Smirl.

try that.

Maybe this?  (RELOC isn't defined in any header AFAICT).
