This seems no really useful to me. Normally, U-Boot will be place  at
the  END  of  the  available  RAM,  while you seem tp place it in the
middle?

I guess you mean TEXT_BASE -  but  this  is  habdled  differently  on
different architectures.

On PowerPC this just defines where U-Boot gets installed in flash. On
ARM (which is still broken in this  respect)  it  means  the  address
where it gets copied to in RAM. I hope this gets fixed one day.
