SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] powerpc: fix boot on BOOK3S_32 with CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

It works - thank you! Tested on top of 4.14.0.

For wider powerpc audience: this warning-like INFO bit is present
independently of theis patch. Is it dangerous for some configuration?

INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x5d6c54) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000)
INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x600000)
