An FYI for planning purposes... we're getting closer to the point where
UBLDR_LOADADDR won't be needed and a single buildworld of armv6[hf] will
be usable on every system/board/soc.  I hacked together a relocatable
ubldr that can be loaded at any address, enough for a proof of concept,
yesterday.  It needs some cleaning up and some pondering about how to
make the transition smooth for users (it requires matching changes in
the u-boot config).

The remaining differences between images will be which kernel to install
and which u-boot pkg to add.
