This allows MMC drivers to perform cache flusing on the bufffers
without issue.

This should not conflict with any other eMMC usage: U-Boot is stored
well below this location, and the kernel only uses the general area
of the eMMC once booted, not the boot sectors.
Note: This assumes the user plugged the standard 8MB MoviNAND card into
J29/HSMMC/POP. If they didn't, the boot sector layout may be different.
However, use of that particular card is standard practice as far as I
know.

The SPI hardware on Seaboard is too broken to use; it is muxed with the
console UART and requires evil interactions between the SPI and UART
drivers to work even partially. The current code in U-Boot is not
sufficient to make this work correctly; auto boot is aborted due to
corruption in the UART RX channel interrupting it.
Instead, move the environment to eMMC, at the end of the second boot
sector. This should not conflict with any other eMMC usage, irrespective
of whether the board boots from SPI, NAND, or eMMC: if U-Boot is stored
in eMMC, it will be stored well below this location. The kernel only
uses the general area of the eMMC once booted, not the boot sectors.
Boards that are derivatives of Seaboard don't have the muxing issue,
and should/could have a separate U-Boot configuration file that does
enable SPI if desired.
Alternatively, the environment could be stored in NAND flash, but we
currently have no driver for that controller.

But a question - what happens if we have a partition table and filesystems

The eMMC is divided into:
* Boot block 0, 512K
* Boot block 1, 512K
* Main area, the rest
This patch stores the environment at the end of boot block 1.
The Linux kernel sees each of those 3 areas as separate block devices
(and indeed the 2 boot blocks are read-only by default and require sysfs
writes to enable writing). As such, any partition table etc. would be
confined to the main area. So, there should be no conflict between PT/FS
and saved environment.
SD cards don't have these separate areas, and it may even be optional on
eMMC. Still, the Seaboard/Springbank eMMC has these separate blocks.
