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?
