If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Geoff Levand commit 6dff5b67054e17c91bd630bcdda17cfca5aa4215 upstream. GCC 5 generates different code for this bootwrapper null check that causes the PS3 to hang very early in its bootup. This check is of limited value, so just get rid of it.
