I don't think anything more needs to be done to the loader to be able to
load a kernel built with the ldscript changes, beyond the change I did a
week or two ago to make it work right with elf headers that contain
physical addresses.

On the other hand, I haven't got anything to offer on the problem of the
loader needing to be linked differently for each board or SoC, since
they all have physical memory in differing address ranges.
