EEh.  Just added another data point.   The breakage for us happens on the gcc 11.3.0 upgrade
of u-boot, not the 12.2.0 upgrade of u-boot.

Maybe the fact that the gcc 11.1.0 u-boot binary boots our EFI loader consistently is just a fluke.

I know adding some printf statements into our efi bootloader changes the behavior and solves
some memory access errors / Load Access Faults... so probably something with our memory layout?
