+From bd152bec1086a35f426c53c9bb9f0c309e216037 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Koen Kooi <koen@dominion.thruhere.net>
+Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 19:07:10 +0100
+Subject: [PATCH 5/5] am335x: Change mmc_load_uimage to load at a fixed address
+ The kernel normally expects to be run from 0x80008000 so if we
+ load from SD card at that-mkimage header we can save a copy of
+ the kernel.
