Did you test these changes?

At one point in time some of these functions were copied from DRAM load address into SRAM and executed from there.

Some of these sections had to be executed outside of DDR due to issues.  The copy assumed contagious section.  If you move some of the data into a separate section and any copy is still in code the result won't work as expected.  If the code has changed then maybe its OK.   Back when this code was entered it was hand stepped to ensure correct behavior.
