Paul Walmsley 474efecb65 riscv: modify the Image header to improve compatibility with the ARM64 header ... Part of the intention during the definition of the RISC-V kernel image header was to lay the groundwork for a future merge with the ARM64 image header. One error during my original review was not noticing that the RISC-V header's "magic" field was at a different size and position than the ARM64's "magic" field. If the existing ARM64 Image header parsing code were to attempt to parse an existing RISC-V kernel image header format, it would see a magic number 0. This is undesirable, since it's our intention to align as closely as possible with the ARM64 header format. Another problem was that the original "res3" field was not being initialized correctly to zero. Address these issues by creating a 32-bit "magic2" field in the RISC-V header which matches the ARM64 "magic" field. RISC-V binaries will store "RSC\x05" in this field. The intention is that the use of the existing 64-bit "magic" field in the RISC-V header will be deprecated over time. Increment the minor version number of the file format to indicate this change, and update the documentation accordingly. Fix the assembler directives in head.S to ensure that reserved fields are properly zero-initialized.
