This only seems to affect booting with a device tree. Booting without
passing a device tree works fine.

I also tested "mkimage -T kernel_noload" (which I typically use) vs.
"mkimage -T kernel", and it makes no difference to either DT or non-DT
boots, so that's one potentially unusual thing I do eliminated.
