Correct. But I assume there won't be enough memory for
userspace programs if uncompressed kernel reaches 5MB.

lzma-loader can be executed from anywhere in memory. After
being executed, the first thing it does is copying itself to defined
LZMA_TEXT_START. We don't really need to test a change of
LZMA_TEXT_START on every boards as its our own code doing
the same thing. So I'd like to leave this untouched and change it
later if needed.
