[PATCH] ARM: 2816/1: Shark: boot kernel images bigger than 1 MB
Patch from Alexander Schulz Up to now, shark kernels were limited to one megabyte compressed size. As the kernels get bigger, this becomes more and more uncomfortable. So I added a loop to copy 3 MB instead of one and added some comments. Signed-off-by: Alexander Schulz <alex@shark-linux.de> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
