My feedback here is the same feedback I gave the last person that wanted to update the Pi addresses, and I forget if they came back and did that (and it's in Peter / Matthias' queue) or not. Disabling device tree relocation is a bug and must be removed. After that, given the range of memory sizes available on Pi platforms, allocating the kernel / initrd / kernel decompression buffer at run time, ala mach-apple would make life easier in the long run. -- Tom
