I started to see these messages in January (around Linux 3.2.0), but never
investigated what it was since the produced kernels continued to boot just
fine.
The above change was added by me. The message is printed when the 'wrapper'
script finds that decompressed kernel overlaps the 'bootstrap code' which does
the decompression. So it shifts the 'address' of the bootstrap code to the
next higher MB. As such it is harmless.
OK, good to know that it's harmless. Thanks for the explanation.

Christian.
