It was a something i was wondering. After send this e-mail i had a chat
with Mauro Ribeiro on #linux-exynos. He indicate that the BL2 determines
the u-boot load location and that it's an u-boot SPL build from their
u-boot branch. Also he indicated that he would be happy to sign a
modified SPL build which e.g. loads u-boot from behind the TZSW.

You can find the IRC log here:

I have yet to take him up on that offer though, but it sounds like a
good way forward. The current layout really isn't practical.
