I understand you are referring here to zImages only. Correct?
Correct. Anything else is not relocatable.
Or will raw images (without the preloader) be fully relocatable, too?
No.
OK. So the situation on ARM is basicly not different from what we have on other architectures.

I already NAKed these patches, and this discussion has made it clear to me that this was a correct decision. What you want is not uImages.
You are therefore denying me the ability to use the kernel according to the use case I care about. Maybe I should reconsider my willingness to let you use raw kernel image then? Because if you are not willing to collaborate for the case I care about, why should I care about yours?

Nico, will it be OK if we/you implemented "bootz" command to boot zImages? Will that be satifying for you? I understand Wolfgang isn't oposed to such solution.
