I agree.
Just now I use debug mode then bootm loads elf to unused memory
regions for relocation and returns control to shell, so one can check
memory map via 'iomem'. See this example from my [RFC 0/5]:
barebox:/ bootm env/vmlinux.qemu-malta-be
handler failed with No error
barebox:/ iomem
0x00000000 - 0xffffffff (size 0x00000000) iomem
0x1e000000 - 0x1e3fffff (size 0x00400000) cfi_flash0
0xa0000000 - 0xafffffff (size 0x10000000) ram0
0xa17f9000 - 0xa17fffff (size 0x00007000) stack
0xa1800000 - 0xa27fffff (size 0x01000000) malloc space
0xa2800000 - 0xa2d4e464 (size 0x0054e465) barebox
0xa2d50114 - 0xa2d56bb0 (size 0x00006a9d) bss
0xa2d56bc0 - 0xa316f29b (size 0x004186dc) kexec relocatable segments
0xa316f2a0 - 0xa316f307 (size 0x00000068) kexec relocator
0xa316f310 - 0xa316f31f (size 0x00000010) kexec control segments
0xb80003f8 - 0xb80003ff (size 0x00000008) ns16550_serial0
barebox:/ go 0xa316f2a0
In this sample I use 'go' to jump to the start of the kexec relocator.
Of cause this behavour will be changed in the future.
