Update the SH kernel to keep SR.BL set until the VBR
register has been initialized. Useful to allow boot
of the kernel even though exceptions are pending.
Without this patch there is a window of time when
exceptions such as NMI are enabled but no exception
handlers are installed.
This patch modifies both the zImage loader and the
actual kernel to boot with BL=1, but the zImage
loader is modfied in such a way that the init_sr
value is unchanged to not break the zImage loader
provided by kexec.
Tested on sh7724 Ecovec and on the SH4AL-DSP core
included in sh7372.

When running in 32BIT mode the P1SEG region doesn't necessarily provide
a window onto RAM (it depends how the bootloader setup the PMB). The
correct location to place the decompressed kernel is the physical
address of _text.

The SH instruction set has several instructions which accept an 8 bit
immediate operand. For logical instructions this operand is zero extended,
for arithmetic instructions the operand is sign extended. After adding an
option to the assembler to check this, it was found that several pieces
of assembly code were assuming this behaviour, and in one case
getting it wrong.
So this patch explicitly sign extends any immediate operands, which makes
it obvious what is happening, and fixes the one case which got it wrong.
