Maybe, maybe not. The preloader is usually very simple and may not be
clever enough to adjust the oad address to the avalable memory and
such; also, U-Boot features like protected RAM, shared video buffers
or log buffers may also require to dynamically adjust the final load
address. In such cases relocation will be needed.
