[U-Boot] RFC: U-Boot OneNAND IPL TEXT_BASE

Hey,

I've been tinkering with OneNAND IPL in uboot. I found out it wan't to load 
itself to the address specified in board/$(BOARDDIR)/config.mk . That's fine in 
most cases, but in my case that wasn't possible.

In my case, SDRAM init didn't fit into the IPL, so I had to copy U-Boot into 
SRAM, then execute it and let it relocate itself into SDRAM. One more time:
IPL: OneNAND->SRAM
U-Boot: SRAM->SDRAM

It all works fine, but when compiling the IPL, I had to alter TEXT_BASE not to 
point into SDRAM but SRAM too (because of stack). I introduced a variable called 
IPL which allows using config.mk from (for example) onenand-
ipl/board/$(BOARDDIR)/config.mk rather than the board/$(BOARDDIR)/config.mk one, 
which is in my opinion a correct behaviour.

Any opinions?

Thanks in advance.
