Add an additional extendable table to the compressed kernel so that we can provide further information to boot loaders regarding the properties of the image contained within. This is necessary for correct behaviour of kexec. Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Tested-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
