ARM: 6503/1: Thumb-2: Restore sensible zImage header layout for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a
32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic
number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address.
This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the
size of the initial padding NOPs changes.
Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to
ARM.
In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a
sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point.
As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no
special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the
Thumb-2 case.
