+ Normally the first instruction of the barebox image contains a jump
+ to the real start of the image which means that you can start it by
+ jumping to the load address. With serial boot images this is not
+ possible because the first instruction is occupied by a magic for the
+ ROM boot code. You can still start this image as a second stage loader,
+ but you have to add 0x400 to the entry point.
