 *  "Header" file for splitting kernel + initrd.  Note that we pass
 *  r0 through to r3 straight through.
 *
 *  This demonstrates how to append code to the start of the kernel
 *  zImage, and boot the kernel without copying it around.  This
 *  example would be simpler; if we didn't have an object of unknown
 *  size immediately following the kernel, we could build this into
 *  a binary blob, and concatenate the zImage using the cat command.
