Why would you want to do this?

It is possible, but it makes no sense to me. Remember that with  most
flash  chips it is impossible to erase or porogram the flash and read
normal data from it at the same time. So you would  either  lose  all
flash  programming  features  (including savceenv etc.), or you would
have to create flash code that get's relocated to RAM for execution -
it's much easier to relocate everything.
