This allows flat binaries to be understood by U-Boot's booti command and
its PXE boot flow.

When I added a header like this for the bpi I needed the text offset to be
0x200000, like Linux has it.  Did you do something to avoid that?

It turns out that U-Boot on my board is configured to ignore the first 0x200000
bytes of DRAM entirely, so the binary ended up at the right address for the
wrong reason. I can send a v2 with this field changed to 0x200000 (which also
works on my board).

Regards,
Samuel
