[ Upstream commit 5564597d51c8ff5b88d95c76255e18b13b760879 ]
Commit 6975a783d7b4 ("powerpc/boot: Allow building the zImage wrapper as a relocatable ET_DYN", 2011-04-12) changed the procedure descriptor at the start of crt0.S to have a hard-coded start address of 0x500000 rather than a reference to _zimage_start, presumably because having a reference to a symbol introduced a relocation which is awkward to handle in a position-independent executable. Unfortunately, what is at 0x500000 in the COFF image is not the first instruction, but the procedure descriptor itself, that is, a word containing 0x500000, which is not a valid instruction. Hence, booting a COFF zImage results in a "DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700" message from Open Firmware.
This fixes the problem by (a) putting the procedure descriptor in the data section and (b) adding a branch to _zimage_start as the first instruction in the program.
