Hi,

I managed to get u-boot-2012.10 to boot from NOR flash on a custom 
at91rm9200 board by doing this:

(I also had to comment out the CONFIG_AT91RM9200EK define in my custom board
config file.)

Any idea why this is needed? I simply used a LED to see where the un-touched 
code failed, and noticed it reached the board_init_r call but never entered the
function. I thought it a bit strange to first subtract _start in the variable
definition and the add it again in the code, so I tried without it, and -- lo
and behold! -- it worked.
