Hi all,
after compiling my kernel on the arm architecture I was not able to
start it because qemu was segfaulting or going to an infinite loop.
After google'ing I found on launchpad the bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
Instead of hardcoding a default value for initrd, let's compute
dynamically from the kernel load address and its size.
We go one page after the end of the kernel.

'initrd_size' and 'base' are already present in the 'info' structure,
passing them as parameter is redundant with the first parameter.

is an overlapping error.
But the two next patches makes to compute automatically an address
for initrd to loaded.
Daniel Lezcano (3):
arm : raise an error if the kernel size will overlap the initrd
arm : factor out set_kernel_args[_old]
arm : make initrd load address dynamic

If the kernel size is too big, it overwrite the initrd image in memory
without detecting the problem. Let't detect this error and exit gracefully.
