[PATCH] MIPS: Allow compressed images to be loaded at the usual address

From: Alban
Date: Sun Feb 05 2017 - 15:21:38 EST


From: Alban Bedel <albeu@xxxxxxx>

Normally compressed images have to be loaded at a different address to
allow the decompressor to run. This add an option to let vmlinuz copy
itself to the correct address from the normal vmlinux address.
