[PATCH] Revert "Link yaboot at 1MB"
This reverts commit f7a364631f2a8975ecca56668a19ee0a66c1ddcd.
An iBook G4 (PowerBook6,5) was unable to boot when linking to the
lower address. Revert back to 2MB.

I could not find any references about _why_ yaboot was moved
from 2MB to 1MB. I did not bother to see how low I could get
it on my iBook. If 2MB is too high for some machine, I can
investigate to see how low I can go.
This patch was tested using both yaboot-mainline and 1.3.17-4
in Debian/sid. The tests were only performed on my iBook G4.
