We use exactly this address 0xFE000000, here is a command:

protect off FE000000 +${filesize}; era FE000000 +${filesize}; cp.b 100000 FE000000 ${filesize}

These selection of addresses was made by a customer  in  his  initial
patch. I think the customer was trying to follow the memory map which
is  defined  in  the  board  User's Manual. And we just didn't change
that. But I think that moving things around as you suggest should  be
fine as well.
