Does this mean it appears in a AFS partition so that we see it
sitting around there in the flash with afs (no arguments)?

I'm asking because that seems to be how it work on the
RealView PB11MPCore which was based on some out-of-tree
U-Boot that Peter Pearse was maintaining at the time.

If there is not a AFS partition for the U-Boot environment,
we should take measures to create one, since the flash
is handled in AFS partitions on these machines.
