With binary interface I mean: the kernel image will be handled as binary blob
and the only things that need to be changed are:
- the command line -> always at 0x10480
- size and position of the initrd -> always at 0x10408/0x10410
There is no need to distinguish between 32/64bit kernel images since they
get treated exactly the same way.
Hope that clarifies things a bit or maybe I get you wrong? Uhmm..
