The 44x boards look the same as 85xx used to be - the bss is the last
section in the ELF, but it has the downside that the code in the bootpg
will be zeroed out along with the bss if the U-Boot image is near its
maximum size and the bss overlaps the bootpg.  Kumar prevented this
(whether he meant to or not:) by putting the bss after the entire U-Boot
image.

Best,
