So you handle cleaning up the BSS differently, interesting.  I'm going
to see if that would work for ARM too..

This isn't an ARM-ism but is instead because spl_nor.c isn't offsetting
where the header is like mmc/nand/ymodem do, yes?  Would it be possible
to make spl_nor.c behave like the others?  One of the reasons I ask is
I'm looking at a NOR chip on my desk...
