I'd really rather not extend the arm_boot code to more usage cases
if I can avoid it. It's really intended for loading kernels. In this case
the thing being loaded really is a ROM image, and the correct way
to handle this is to make the board model behave the same way
the hardware does and make the ROM image sit at the same place
in the memory map that the real ROM image does.
