Pete Popov was already working some zImage code.
His link for it:
ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ppopov/2.6/zImage_2_6_10.patch
It worked for me in January on an XXS1500 device, but I haven't tried it
on any newer kernel since then.
I don't know the current status of it, or if it is going to go into the
main codebase at all.
