> The 4.2.2 gcc in the ELDK42 release doesn't like the direct SP
> load using a constant in tegra2_start. Break it up into 4 loads
> using mov & orr.
> 
> Tested on my Seaboard T20-A03, U-Boot loads and runs OK. Also
> compiled all tegra2 builds with both gcc 4.2.2 and 4.4.1 OK.

asm volatile("mov sp, %0"::"r"(AVP_EARLY_BOOT_STACK_LIMIT)); won't work?
