OK, I will need to fix up my mk802 rev. 1 (the old and crappy one ! ) and check
this FEL stuff. I would really want to avoid one more linker script if possible,
since it adds to maintainance overhead and technological debt ... but if you say
it's necessary, I will not block it.

btw. try popping up at #u-boot @ irc.freenode.net , it'd be nice to have you
around!
