    Impact: obsolete feature removal
    
    The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
    time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
    fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
    anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
    most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
    all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
    not having even noticed.
    
    Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
    meaning.
