I need to get kernel_entry to the lowest memory region in the binary. This is
because a platform I am porting to does not support ELF, and always begins
execution at the first word of the firmware image. Alternatively, if there is
a simpler way to prepend the image with a jump to the kernel_entry symbol,
that could work as well.
Thanks,
Luke

The easiest way to do this is to put your entry point in a named
section (for example .text.head) then edit vmlinux.lds.S to put that
section at the correct place in your kernel image.
