It looks like my change is progressing to being checked in: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-December/111865.html As background though, I don't think an "SDRAM-relative" approach would be any more or less likely to get checked in; the size of the patch would end up being just the same as my final "don't copy the kernel to any load address" patch. Incidentally, the very first patch I posted was for an "SDRAM-relative" load address, although it ended up being far more complex than my final patch due to the way I implemented it; a rewrite would come out much smaller. -- nvpublic
