Some quick tests on theadorable_debug (AXP) have shown, that it makes
no difference, if the MMU is disabled or not AFAICT.

While doing this I noticed though, that kwboot UART booting only worked
in roughly 1 out of 2 cases. With no progress after this line:

Sending boot message. Please reboot the target...\

IIRC, this worked more reliable a few weeks ago. Any idea, what might
have caused this regression - if I am correct here?
