This is ARM926EJ-S based board, by its hardware design close to
ARM/versatile, so took the latter to clone.

Sure, I checked; I understand that TEXT_BASE is related to the
ZRELADDR defined in $(linux)/arch/arm/boot/Makefile, which in turn is
equal to per-board value of 'zreladdr-y' set in
$(linux)/arch/arm/mach-<board>/Makefile.boot

So my questions were rather general:
- how is 'zreladdr-y' defined
- in what order bootloader, its parameters and kernel are following in memory.

I understand that specific addresses are board specific, but the
layout of images in memory should be always constant, isn't it?
