Actually, let me look into this a bit more. It appears that for all
omap2+ devices NOR should be mapped to CS0 at 0x08000000. So I am
wondering if the boot-loader is re-mapping the CS0 space. If it is then
may be we can avoid having such hacks in the kernel by fixing the
bootloader. To date only the apollon board has really had this problem
and I need to check what I have on my H4 (which has been hacked by me ;-)

Cheers
Jon
