Dear Heiko
You should split it in patches as per boards supported, if you are supporting four board then there should be four different patches.

Marvell Kirkwood has internal bootROM and it may be active through h/w configuration on you board.
In such case bootROM tries to read Kirkwood boot image (i.e. kwbimage) from boot media (i.e. NAND/SPI/Sata etc).
So kwbimage.cfg (the above file that you have created) should be present in board folder and this will be used by mkimage tool if you create u-boot.kwb target.

There is kwbimage.cfg and not dramregs_333h.txt, may be you are referring very early post
