That's nonsense. That doesn't make kernel XIP. AFAIR the only attempt to
make XIP kernel was done for SH port. I do not know its current state.

ARM kernel doesn't support XIP. Only kernel uncompressor runs directly
from flash (if configured in) and unpacks kernel into memory and then
jumping there. I'm using U-Boot for such purpose anyway, because it
gives you more freedom :)
