[U-Boot] x86: Booting Linux v4.7+ broken

[Stefan Roese]

Hi!

I just tried to boot a recent Linux kernel on a BayTrail based
x86 board and noticed that booting Linux kernel version v4.7+
does not work. git bisecting leads to this kernel commit
changing the compressed image format:

974f221c:
x86/boot: Move compressed kernel to the end of the decompression buffer

Before digging deeper into this, I would like to check if
someone else has been hit by this problem and perhaps already
has a solution / fix for U-Boots zimage command. Or a quick
idea how to solve this.

BTW: Coreboot also seems to have some problems here:
