I can not see why you handle IP22, IP32, Cobalt as so "special".
There are many other platforms which supports 64-bit and uses CKSEG0
load address (well, actually all 64-bit platforms except for IP27).
Mainly because, to the best of my knowledge, these are the only three systems
where things get weird with ckseg0 and this specific Kconfig option. Afaik with
other systems, they don't need weird hacks like stuffing 64bit code into 32bit
objects to work best (or at all).
So I think Franck's approach, which enables -msym32 and defines
KBUILD_64BIT_SYM32 automatically if load-y was CKSEG0, is better. Are
there any problem with his patchset?
I missed the other two additions to this patch, which is probably why it didn't
work :) Taken as a whole, they also boot my O2 now.
