What I would like to do is keep arch/ppc/boot/ for MBX and prep since
they're so similar but setup a different relocation strategy. Right now
it's mostly a result of me trying out things and stopping when everything
I could get ahold of worked and patching it as bug reports came in.
The new one should be linked at a safe address (for PReP this could be
10-16M). After load we relocate ourselves there, use the 10-12M range for
free space and decompress the kernel. This requires 16M but I'm not sure
there are many machines out there with <16M.
This would take care of every prep I know of. They all load at a
different address (sometimes depending on how you boot) but that region
should be safe. Does anyone see problems with that?
