[POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve prep_kernel()
This patch rewrites prep_kernel() in the zImage wrapper code to be clearer and more flexible. Notable changes: - Handling of the initrd image from prep_kernel() has moved into a new prep_initrd() function. - The address of the initrd image is now added as device tree properties, as the kernel expects. - We only copy a packaged initrd image to a new location if it is in danger of being clobbered when the kernel moves to its final location, instead of always. - By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0, instead of requiring it to relocate itself. Platforms (such as OF) where doing this could clobber still-live firmware data structures can override the vmlinux_alloc hook to provide an alternate place to decompress the kernel. - We no longer pass lots of information between functions in global variables.
