Indeed, r601 broke all targets, you were just lucky that qemu didn't
explode as well.
It's the seemingly easy patches which break booting. With your hint, I
found the bug. Myles made a small, but important mistake with the memset
for the "zeroes" decompression.
The memset zeroed the archive instead of the destination. No wonder it
did explode.
This patch fixes it and also reverts the emergency commit r604 because
that one is no longer necessary.
