For reasons of consistency, should this not better be
OMAP_INIT_CONTEXT_UBOOT_LOADED_BY_ROM ?

What exactly is OMAP_INIT_CONTEXT_XIP_UBOOT?

Do you mean the situation when booting from NOR flash, before
relocation?

Eventually the "loaded by" definition is not so good, as it does not
really cover the NOR boot case.

Boot from NOR?
