The 44x boards look the same as 85xx used to be - the bss is the last section in the ELF, but it has the downside that the code in the bootpg will be zeroed out along with the bss if the U-Boot image is near its maximum size and the bss overlaps the bootpg. Kumar prevented this (whether he meant to or not:) by putting the bss after the entire U-Boot image.
