[U-Boot] Kernel copy from NOR to RAM

Hi Nicolas,

> which file uboot copies kernel from NOR to RAM?

This will be the UBL which runs before U-Boot gets a chance to run.
Just before Stefano Babic's work on the dm365 platform all davinci
U-Boot ports configured CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and thus relied on
being loaded by some other entity into RAM to the link address specified
during compilation.  In such setups U-Boot is actually a payload in an
AIS image.

There is some documentation out there on the web ([1], esp. [2]) - if
you have further questions, go ahead ;)

Cheers
  Detlev
