Hi Stefan and others,

this is a series of improvements to kwboot, kwbimage and mvebu.

The main goal of this series is to correctly use BootROM's code
for loading U-Boot from NOR / NAND: currently only SPL is read by
BootROM and the main U-Boot is read by SPL. By using BootROM to also
load main U-Boot we can reduce the size of SPL image, since it does
not need to contain code for reading NOR / NAND.

Before merging, this series should be tested on as many relevant
boards as possible.
