I don't like "in the future we'll remove duplicated code". I also don't
like not seeing that what we really need to do, in all cases (not just
booti) handle decompression like we do for FIT images, and ask LMB to
give us a space to use. A problem is that CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN was never
intended to be the limit on *decompression* as it's the limit on what
we're loading to memory from disk. That's what getting me unhappy with
this part of the series.
