Right, as I said it needs some cleanup :) This is left overs from
rebasing to 3.14 - the original had to carry some small changes to
memory.h as well, but now that we have PLAT_PHYS_OFFSET that isn't
necessary.

This is adjusting the entry point address in the ELF.

I have copied what other arch's are doing and used the physical
address as the entry address (see x86, ia64).
