Funny, I was just about to submit a patch to add this = {0} myself when I
found this message.  ;)  I would say that it (or a memset, whichever people
prefer) is a good idea so that this tool can be used to make a reasonable
SPL out of any source binary executable, even ones that are smaller than
14K.

Specifically, I assembled a bit of quick-and-dirty code for debugging (60
bytes) and wanted to convince the processor to load it as a BL2.  This tool
worked for the process, but it produced a file with some random data in it.
 Ick.


I wouldn't hold up committing this patch series for it, though...
