On a related note, using fdt_high=0xff... to disable relocation is a bad
idea and can lead to U-Boot knowing we have it at an invalid (unaligned)
location but doing nothing and causing problems down the chain.  Please
use bootm_size or similar (documented in the README, still) to limit
where the fdt can be.  Thanks!
