I don't think there's room for any new features at all.  The SPL must
fit in 4K.  Canyonlands is at 4020 bytes currently.

Why can't the new functionality be conditionally built?

nand_spl_simple.c is what I'm talking about needing to not expand.  Why
does the new stuff need to be bound to a specific NAND boot implementation?
