Err, you still can't jump around in the first page - you get force-
fed the data in sequence - hence my concern about the, err,
challenge, of generating a (pre)bootloader than can execute like
that.
Since the PXA27x has some on-chip RAM, at least we no longer
need to worry about setting up the DRAM (and waiting the age it
takes for DRAM to start up), but it's still going to be exciting.
