This code has changed since I was working with it, but wouldn't
arm_mem_barebox_image() returning a different value from when the PBL
code calls it versus barebox_non_pbl_start() just result in an
unnecessary relocation of the uncompressed barebox from the PBL's choice
to the main barebox choice?

Could the size including BSS be appended?  Seems like putting:
size -A barebox | awk '$1==".bss"{print $2}'
in the size_append function would do that pretty simply.
