The start address of a compressed kernel is the first byte of the image.
Symbolically, that is 'start', which is a non-global symbol. However,
this symbol is useless since it normally is zero, because the entire
image is relocatable and therefore built for address zero.
However, it is normal to load the image not at address zero.
