Bypassing maintainers stinks - especially when there are unaddressed
comments outstanding.  Nicolas has "simplified" my objections in this
request for you to pull - and has completely ignored the problem that
it breaks ZBOOT_ROM by deleting the zreladdr definitions on EP93xx
with no way for that to be provided.

Moreover, it forces EP93xx to always use AUTO_ZRELADDR, but you can
still select ZBOOT_ROM, which is an invalid combination.

Not only that, I'm carrying a patch from Sascha which detects the
multiple-zreladdr problem and prevents building such kernels and this
conflicts with that patch.

So I'm not pulling Nicolas' mach_memory_h branch until he comes to his
senses.  I had pointed this out but got a rather stroppy replies in
return.
