I wasn't thinking that anything other than MSM would change. The
kernel would be at a 128MB+0x8000 boundary. Non-MSM targets would
stay the same, and MSM targets would have the kernel 128MB further in
memory, and reclaim that memory later.
Probably not the best way to do it, and it sounds like Stephen Boyd
has some better ideas, anyway.
