Damn, I thought that the PowerPC SoCs are the only ones that have such a
crazy register hiding feature.

I'd really prefer that the barebox memory layout is compatible to the
existing devicetrees. Otherwise we block the way of probing barebox from
the devicetree and to start barebox second stage.

Is it possible to remap the registers using the kwbimage tool? That way
every code that runs would see the desired register layout.
