> I starting trying the qemu PPC system emulation for the 405 boards and
> ran into an issue with where the board info pointer is located in
> memory. The first Linux MMU entry only covers the first few megs of RAM
> and the current code puts the bdloc at the very top of memory. And when
> the kernel tries to copy the data it fails.
>
> So this little patch just moves the location down into the first 16
> Meg, like U-boot does. And I am able to boot the kernel after that.
