[PATCH] ppc64: Fix zImage boot

The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the
kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF
header and the kernel itself.  This results on some machines, like G5s,
into a kernel that crashes at boot when clearing the BSS.
