I think the immediate focus should be on centralising the init sequence
processing into /common/init.c and then bringing the new'initcall'
architecture online

Once these have been done, any board can just specific:

SKIP_INIT(RELOC)

And this can be wrapped:

#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_SKIP_RELOC
SKIP_INIT(RELOC)
#endif

Done ;)
