It may have finally dawned on me that the OMAP2PLUS symbol
CONFIG_ISW_ENTRY_ADDR should also be exposed to Keystone and used there
to store the "SPL_TEXT_BASE" type address in the case where we don't
actually enable SPL on these platforms.  Testing that now, and then I
can test migrating CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE on top of that.
