New Revision: 327358
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/327358

Log:
  Add support for 64-bit PowerPC kernels to be directly loaded by kexec, which
  is used as the bootloader on a number of PPC64 platforms. This involves the
  following pieces:
  - Making the first instruction a valid kernel entry point, since kexec
    ignores the ELF entry value. This requires a separate section and linker
    magic to prevent the linker from filling the beginning of the section
    with stubs.
  - Adding an entry point at 0x60 past the first instruction for systems
    lacking firmware CPU shutdown support (notably PS3).
  - Linker script changes to support the above.
