This needs more explanation.  What sort of image am I supposed to get  
when I build "P5040DS_NAND"?  Where is the PBI?

What is the long-term plan for fixing the problem of the environment  
not being available until after relocation?  With SPL we could use  
CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST (which has some issues, but they're fixable).

It would also be nice to include instructions for configuring the board  
to boot from NAND in a README (Freescale's user manuals often do not  
make this clear, especially for soft configuration).  Also please  
provide a built-in command (or script in the default environment) to  
soft-boot into NAND (or if it already exists, please document it).
