In the *most general* case stack and gd will have to be relocated
to SDRAM, since the pre-relocation memory *could* be locked data cache
or some buffer memory that is not free anymore when u-boot is up.

Of course, on SoCs like AT91SAM9 where several (4k - 32k) of SRAM are
available it would be tempting to keep stack and gd just in SRAM. But we
don't want to specialize, we want to generalize...
