The `end' symbol doesn't match the end of the kernel image because it's
relative to the start address (unless the start address is 0, which is
not the case).
This is currently not a problem because all powerpc architectures are
using loader(8) which passes metadata to the kernel including the
correct `endkernel' address. If we don't use loader(8), register 4
and 5 will have the size of the kernel ELF file, not its end address.
We fix that simply by adding `kernel_text' to `end' to compute
`endkernel'.
