To: u-boot
On at91sam platforms, u-boot grew larger than the allocated size in
dataflash, the layout was:
bootstrap 0x00000000
ubootenv 0x00004200
uboot 0x00008400
kernel 0x00042000
u-boot with the defconfig doesn't seem to fit in 0x42000 - 0x8400 =
0x39C00 bytes anymore. Loading the kernel from 0x44000 will make the
process easier for users using the default configuration but they'll
have to remember to flash the kernel at 0x44000.

You're just pushing it slowly further. That's bogus:
1) ubootenv is at weird offset ... why such a weird number? Also, what about
redund. env?
2) u-boot itself is at weird offset ... just set it to some normal location and
let it be eg. up to 512kb big, to make sure you don't need to change it in the
future.
3) Why is env at offset 0x4200 ... is the bootstrap exactly so big ? what about
erasing nor, you can't make sure you won't overwrite those 0x200 bytes safely
too, right ?
=> I'd do the layout like this:
0x00000 - bootstrap
0x05000 - u-boot (align to block size)
0x85000 - env (~16kb)
0x89000 - env redund
< note, here's some space, so align as necessary >
0x90000 - kernel
It wastes a bit, but it's ready for future growth

It is atmel's defaults they seem to do some magic with the environment
when flashing. I don't think this is necessary and don't have any issue
changing that.

That makes sense, I though about it but I'm not so sure about the
available space in dataflash on all the at91sam evaluation kits.

As said, I let the defaults from ATMEL as they were. I don't know if
they had any specific reason to have the layout like that. Maybe they
had issue with the available space on the dataflash.
The bootstrap is around 4k. I'll try a new layout and come back with a
proposal. I'll also check that it fits in most dataflash sizes.
