Subject: linux-next: build warnings after merge of the 4xx tree

Hi Josh,

After merging the 4xx tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig)
produced these warnings:

WARN: Uncompressed kernel (size 0xe32858) overlaps the address of the wrapper()
WARN: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0xf00000)
WARN: Uncompressed kernel (size 0xd6c9e8) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000)
WARN: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0xe00000)

Introduced by commit c55aef0e5bc6 ("powerpc/boot: Change the load address
for the wrapper to fit the kernel").   Maybe "WARN" is not the best
prefix for this.  To me it implies that something may go wrong and there
is something to be fixed ...  If this is purely informational, then maybe
"INFO" would be better.
