/*
 * Save arguments from the BERI firmware for use in C-land, and jump into
 * main.  Assume that registers/stack/etc are sufficiently initialised to get
 * going.  Notice that we use only temporaries while relocating, as we want to
 * retain argument registers to pass in to main().
 *
 * Note slightly surprising structure: boot2 is linked for a specific address,
 * but we may start running the code somewhere else (e.g., in DRAM as inserted
 * with JTAG, or in flash).  The starting assembly is therefore PIC, but the
 * main body of the code is not PIC.
