[PATCH] ppc64: Fix zImage wrapper incorrect size to flush_cache()

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Hi !

This patch fixes a bug in the ppc64 zImage wrapper causing it to
pass an incorrect size to flush_cache() when flushing the data and
instruction caches prior to jumping to the kernel entry. This causes
crashes on firmare environment that do strict MMU mapping only of
actually allocated areas
