This depends on how the kernel was linked.

This is correct on PowerPC, but wrong on all other systems.

The address to be used  is  defined  in  the  Linux  kernel's  linker
commands  /  scripts;  seach which value of PTEXTADDR gets defined in
"arch/arm/Makefile" for your board; in your  "arch/arm/boot/Makefile"
you should then have a build target like this:

uImage:	compressed/piggy.gz
	mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
	-a $(PTEXTADDR) -e $(PTEXTADDR) \
	-n 'ARM Linux-$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)' \
	-d compressed/piggy.gz $@
