Take a look at arch/mips/kernel/head.S. This file will be the first on
the final linker call's command line, that is head.S's .text section will
end at the lowest address.
Ah excellent, that combined with the linker script (to twiddle load addresses)
is just what I'm after.
#ifdef CONFIG_NCD_HMX
b 1f
nop
nop
.word 0x20
.asciz "XncdHMX"
.word 0, 0, 0
#endif
Perfect, thanks for the example, that makes it much easier.

The wiki page says something about a CRC but just poking a 0x20 into a
constant address is not exactly a CRC calculation. Not sure how this
really is meant.
As far as I'm aware 0x20 means "ignore the CRC", I think the CRC itself is
covered by one of the zero words.
