This is completely wrong.  The relocation address is determined
dynamically, depending on RAM size and a number of coinfigured
options.

CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is the start address of the text segment when
execution starts - on ROM booting systems this is an address in ROM.

Indeed this was necessary.
