I can remove it, but it's a pretty drastic change from the original behavior that was introduced 4 1/2 years ago:

  http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-August/058670.html

I assume the idea was to give OSs one thing less to worry about (IVOR setting). If any OS in between 2009 and now relied on that fact, we'll break it by removing this code.
