I'm going to mark this series as RFC in patchwork as I see you did
+#ifneq... in some Makefiles and I know you know better :)  That said,
can you confirm MAKEALL -s omap3 -s omap4 -s omap5 works?  omap4/5 has
smaller size requirements than omap3(ish) stuff and I don't have 100%
faith in linker magic to make sure the cache stuff added to SPL in
arch/arm/lib/ isn't going to bloat up the omap4/5 stuff slightly.
