It seems that LinuxBIOS copies itself to _RAMBASE, which is 0x4000.
Then it branches to 0x4000 into _start, which sets up the stack and
calls hardwaremain.  The address of hardwaremain from linuxbios_c.o is
wrong.  The address is not the Flash address and it's not the RAM
address.  Can someone explain how linuxbios_c.o is linked with RAM
addresses?
