Even if it's not bootable?

Ok, there's better plan. Instead of adding iROM in a separate file, I'll
just call its magic address in board's lowlevel init. So this will be
for tiny210 only.

It depends on what one means "remove again". This may happen after a
year or so. While I think I can implement NAND quite fast, I'm not so
optimistic about MMC.

If there are no BOARDINFO and board-y defined, barebox cannot be built.
So one cannot compile barebox with CONFIG_ARCH_something if there are no
boards utilizing it, right? How to test the compilation then? Is it Ok?
