This patch is to avoid potential issue when we still use the pointer
images->legacy_hdr_os after the kernel un-compressed.

in function boot_get_kernel():
we should let the images->legacy_hdr_os point to the new copied image header,
not the original image header in uImage which may be over-written in
the kernel un-compressed process.  This is a potential problem.

This patch is still in new state. Please help to check.
I think it is really an potential issue without this patch.

Thanks so much!

All your patches require changes.  See previous messages about the
