I assumed that in some conditions, the bootrom could load only the SPL
in sram. Once loaded, the SPL would initialize the RAM, detect the boot
media, and fetch u-boot.img from it, and execute it.

I also hoped the the SPL would have been significantly smaller than the
current u-boot.imx image.

In the meantime, I'll send a v2 with some additional patches to reduce
the size of the resulting u-boot.imx.
