PATCH v3 1/1 Fix initrd/dtb interaction

The original code would wrongly relocate the blob to be right before the initrd if it existed. The blob *must* be within CFG_BOOTMAPSZ, if it is defined. So we make two changes:

1) flag the blob for relocation whenever its address is above BOOTMAPSZ

2) If the blob is being relocated, relocate it before kbd, not initrd

---

Fixed the merge problem. I thought I had based off of the fdt tree, but it was a patch from gvb which was in the mainline and not my tree, so I'm confused. Either way, it's fixed now.

Applied, thanks. [May take a while until it's visible on the public server, though; got some more stuff in the queue here.]

Best regards,

I get the following error with your patch on platforms not using device tree at all (like 4xx sequoia...):

cmd_bootm.c: In function 'do_bootm_linux':
cmd_bootm.c:932: error: 'of_flat_tree' undeclared (first use in this function) cmd_bootm.c:932: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once cmd_bootm.c:932: error: for each function it appears in.) cmd_bootm.c:933: error: 'of_data' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [cmd_bootm.o] Error 1

Would be great if you could generate a quick patch for that.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
