This will hardly be sufficient. Remember that U-Boot  expects  to  be
started  from  the  reset  vector,  which  it  will  also assume when
relocating, etc. Just  changing  the  address  is  not  sufficient  -
instead  you  will  have to create a "gap" where you rpoprietary boot
code fits in.

I hope you will not continue to ask where  to  find  each  and  every
function.  You  are  supposed to have the knowledge and tools to find
your own way through the code. Tools like grep or ctags may help...

See function relocate_code() in cpu/*/start.S
