Ah.. I read the first patch to quickly...  Still an updated commit would
keep it clear.  Something as simple as this.

This all can be selected automatically by default at run time using
ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT.

Ah.. I overlooked that part.  Leave it as-is then.

Ok.  Just seems weird to have an empty Makefile.boot...

Actually it was "kind" of possible before.  The limitation was that all the
ep93xx boards needed to use the same phys offset.
