In my case CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN is 256KB
and CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE is 0xfffc0000
my destaddr is 0x1ffd5000

so gd->reloc_off = destaddr - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE;
so gd->reloc_off = 0x20015000
also gd->malloc = 0x1fed1000

After that it continuously restarts with error machine check exception.

Is that mean ram initialization is not done or some thing with reloc_off as  
it is going in -ve.
