[PATCH v2 0/2] ARM: support PHYS_OFFSET minimum aligned at 64KiB boundary

From: Zhen Lei

v1 --> v2:
Nothing changed, but add mail list: patches@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

v1:
Currently, only support the kernels where the base of physical memory is
at a 16MiB boundary. Because the add/sub instructions only contains 8bits
unrotated value. But we can use one more "add/sub" instructions to handle
bits 23-16, to support PHYS_OFFSET minimum aligned at 64KiB boundary.

This function is required at least by some Huawei boards, such as Hi1380
board. Becuase the kernel Image is loaded at 2MiB boundary.

Zhen Lei (2):
ARM: fix trivial comments in head.S
