I'm not really sure what the right thing to do with SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR is...

The default is only right for BOOTCOUNT_EXT (and then only on a
specific board?) and elsewhere it's mostly set in board configs. In my
case I actually want it to be defined based on a other bits of memory
map . Maybe it's been overloaded too much and really wants to be a
variable per driver?

That said, squashing in that change doesn't obviously break anything
for me, and is probably a step in the right direction.

I'll see what Travis thinks.
