8a76baf020 [PATCH] ppc64 boot: remove need for imagesize.c
Compute the vmlinux size at runtime.

Use Z_FULL_FLUSH instead of Z_FINISH, to extract only the ELF header
and ELF program header.

 ->p_memsz is the required memory range for the executable, including bss
 ->p_filesz is the size of .text, .data and other runtime sections

These values must be used for the claim call.
All additional memory needed by the kernel is claimed in prom_init, remove
the extra Mb.

Pass the full memsize as target area to gunzip, otherwise not everything
will be uncompressed.

flush_cache has to flush all runtime sections, do not reduce the memrange
by the ->p_offset value because its just that: an offset.

Remove the Makefile code to produce an imagesize.c, its not needed anymore.
Remove all FORCE flags, to not rebuild the zImage if vmlinux was not changed.

7054036fc5 [PATCH] ppc64 boot: remove zlib
Switch ppc64 to the in-kernel zlib, it has less bugs than the current one.
The code in arch/ppc64/boot is compiled as 32bit, so it can not use the
includes from include/asm.

Copy all zlib related header files and convert them with sed.

Reduce the scratch size to 47k, check possible changes at runtime.

3cc747e964 [PATCH] PPC64: large INITRD causes kernel not to boot
In PPC64 there are number of problems in arch/ppc64/boot/main.c that
prevent a kernel from making use of a large (greater than ~16MB) INITRD.
This is 64 bit architecture and really large INITRD images should be
possible.

Simply put the existing code has a fixed reservation (claim) address and
once the kernel plus initrd image are large enough to pass this address
all sorts of bad things occur. The fix is the dynamically establish the
first claim address above the loaded kernel plus initrd (plus some
"padding" and rounding). If PROG_START is defined this will be used as
the minimum safe address - currently known to be 0x01400000 for the
firmwares tested so far.

decd300b30 [PATCH] ppc64: make arch/ppc64/boot standalone
Make the bootheader for ppc64 independent from kernel and libc headers.
* add -nostdinc -isystem $gccincludes to not include libc headers
* declare all functions in header files, also the stuff from string.S
* declare some functions static
* use stddef.h to get size_t (hopefully ok)
* remove ppc32-types.h, only elf.h used the __NN types

With further modifications by Paul Mackerras and Stephen Rothwell.

af4d4b3410 [PATCH] ppc64: remove asm/bootinfo.h include
The defines in bootinfo.h are not used, so the include can be removed.
According to Ben, birecs are not used on ppc64:

  on ppc64, we made the decision of enforcing the presence of an
  OF device-tree and either an OF-like client interface or a kexec
  like flattened tree.
  so if your bootloader want to say things to the kernel,
  it can do so by adding properties to the device-tree

compile-tested with defconfig

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
