Yeah, we will probably need that too.

Btw, looka here - it can't get any more obvious than that after dumping
setup_data too:

early console in setup code
early console in extract_kernel
input_data: 0x00000000040f92bf
input_len: 0x0000000000f1c325
output: 0x0000000001000000
output_len: 0x0000000003c5e7d8
kernel_total_size: 0x0000000004428000
needed_size: 0x0000000004600000
boot_params->hdr.setup_data: 0x00000000010203b0
trampoline_32bit: 0x000000000009d000

Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done.
Booting the kernel.
<EOF>

Aligning them vertically:

output:				0x0000000001000000
output_len:			0x0000000003c5e7d8
kernel_total_size:		0x0000000004428000
needed_size:			0x0000000004600000
boot_params->hdr.setup_data:	0x00000000010203b0
