Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix kernel-jump address for ppc64 wrapper boot
Date:   Fri, 4 Jun 2021 05:22:28 -0400

From "64-bit PowerPC ELF Application Binary Interface Supplement 1.9",
we know that the value of a function pointer in a language like C is
the address of the function descriptor and the first doubleword
of the function descriptor contains the address of the entry point
of the function.

So, when we want to jump to an address (e.g. addr) to execute for
PPC-elf64abi, we should assign the address of addr *NOT* addr itself
to the function pointer or system will jump to the wrong address.
