Just to be explicit: you _must_ map your flash _well_above_ 0xC000_0000 
(the start of the linux kernel area) if you want to run linux.

Since _you_ control BR0 (don't listen to them hardware engineers), you 
can put it anywhere you want.  0xFF00_0000 is a good spot.  0xFFF0_0000 
is not as good of a spot because it limits you to 16MB of flash.  Think 
big. ;-)
