This patch makes the payload of the bzImage file an ELF file. In
other words, the bzImage is structured as follows:
- boot sector
- 16bit setup code
- ELF header
- decompressor
- compressed kernel
A bootloader may find the start of the ELF file by looking at the
setup_size entry in the boot params, and using that to find the offset
of the ELF header. The ELF Phdrs contain all the mapped memory
required to decompress and start booting the kernel.
One slightly complex part of this is that the bzImage boot_params need
to know about the internal structure of the ELF file, at least to the
extent of being able to point the core32_start entry at the ELF file's
entrypoint, so that loaders which use this field will still work.
Similarly, the ELF header needs to know how big the kernel vmlinux's
bss segment is, in order to make sure is is mapped properly.
To handle these two cases, we generate abstracted versions of the
object files which only contain the symbols we care about (generated
with objcopy --strip-all --keep-symbol=X), and then include those
symbol tables with ld -R.
