Here's what I came with instead: From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 17:01:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: zImage: don't overwrite ourself with a page table When zImage is loaded into RAM at a low address but TEXT_OFFSET is set higher, we risk overwriting ourself with the page table needed to turn on the cache as it is located relative to the relocation address. Let's defer the cache setup after relocation in that case.
