Going by our previous offline correspondence, I assume this approach still
uses the bzImage's decompression stub?

Also, as I discussion offline previously, I'm going through the boot_params
with a fine-tooth comb to get a complete picture of what the Linux kernel
actually requires to be filled out in the boot_params structure - I expect
this will result in a 'built_boot_params()' function which is called by
zboot and bootm - possibly with some weak stubs to helper functions

Regards,

Graeme
