+Loading kernel at offset 0x10000 works only for zImage, but not for Image,
+because the kernel expect the start of decompressed kernel (.head.text) to be
+at an address that's a distance that's 16MB aligned from  PAGE_OFFSET +
+TEXT_OFFSET (see vmlinux.lds.S). This check is enfornced in __fixup_pv_table in
+arch/arm/kernel/head.S TEXT_OFFSET is 0x00008000, so a 16MB alignment needs to
+have a "0x8000" in the lower 16 bits so that they cancel out. Currently the
+offset Qemu loads it at is 0x10000.
+
+With zImage, this need is met because zImage loads the uncompressed Image
+correctly, however when loading an Image and executing directly Qemu is
+required it to load it at the correct location. Doing so, doesn't break Qemu's
+zImage loading. With this patch, both zImage and Image work correctly.
