New Revision: 247301
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/247301

Log:
  Adjust the arm kernel entry point address properly regardless of whether the
  e_entry field holds a physical or a virtual address.  Add a comment block
  that explains the assumptions being made by the adjustment code.
