Attached is a patch which fixes a build problem
for ARM pxa270, and general ARM boot issue when
LATENCY_TRACE is configured.
This patch (queued for Linus) lifts that 4MB limitation:

(I ran into the limit when enabling lockdep on ARM.)
ok, i've added this no-4M-limit patch to -rt. John, does that solve your
problem?
A few of us hit a snag in Lennert's original patch. He has a
fix which addresses this, attached.

The 'sub r3, r3, r5' check to determine the compressed kernel size in
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S doesn't work properly, since at that
point, r3 will have been overwritten by cache_on().
What we can do is to use sp instead, which does not get clobbered in
the meanwhile. Using sp will give us a slightly higher compressed
kernel image size guess than when using r3, but that's safe.
Bug reported by John Cooper and David Anders.
