Yes. I don't feel good about merging something which no boards use by
default.

I'm talking about changing the partitioning specifically on ATSTK1000.
Other boards can do whatever they want. But it may be a good idea to
reserve 256k anyway since it becomes less likely that we'll have to do
the same thing all over again in the future.

Also note that we're not talking about increasing the size of the boot
loader in general -- if you have a custom board and don't want to spend
256k of flash on the boot loader, you'll just have to not enable these
space-consuming features.

I have to say I was a bit surprised by the size of the NAND code
though. The LCD code is sort of excused since it sucks in a big
uncompressed logo...

Yeah...maybe I shouldn't have said that ;-) It would be cool to be able
to run console over USB, but I don't know if U-Boot has any USB gadget
support...so it might take a while to implement.
