Me neither, Linus Walleij's latest contribution to the pogoplug
series showed it to me. And while I am working on barebox support
for the ix4, I always wanted to remove the stock partitions easily.

Barebox always uses internal registers at 0xf1000000 so it will
never boot that stupid stock kernel that depends on 0xd0000000
registers.
