These are fixes and enhancements for loading uImages, a kernel format def=
ined
by the u-boot bootloader. These are needed in order to merge PowerPC 440 =
KVM
support.

There are a few existing users of the uImage loader in qemu, but while I =
cannot
test these patches, they shouldn't cause any impact (other than adding gz=
ip
loading capability).

The first two patches were modified based on comments from Fran=C3=A7ois =
Revol and
Anthony Liguori.
