It's 0x400, which is the default.  It may need to grow again as we set
it to 0x1000 but only on AM33XX.  Maybe that's just a bit large, would
have to check.

I might be able to reduce the amount of removed parts on Beagle, but we
don't have Falcon mode in use widely there I think.  And I need more
space as I'm tempted to see if I can finally do things like support NAND
env on Beagleboard and FAT env for xM and so forth.
