I don't know about the patch from Masato Tarunishi, but I posted a patch
a while ago which can boot zImage and bzImage on X86 boards, we have
product which has been using it for ages.

I've attached our most recent code. It works pretty much like the arm
HAL 'exec' command, it'll copy things to the right place etc.

Ian.
