Subject: [PATCH v2 08/21] MIPS: Allow kernel base to be set from Kconfig for all platforms

From: Jiaxun Yang <jiaxun.yang@...goat.com>

There are some platforms in wild that generic loading address won't
work with them due to memory layout.

Allow PHYSICAL_START to be override from Kconfig, introduce
PHYSICAL_START_BOOL symbol as powerpc did.
