Are you sure this is safe? Imagine you have 4 GB of RAM. Once registers
are remapped to 0xf1000000, what you read at 0xd0020080 is RAM.

And, what happens if by chance (or lack therefore), what the RAM
contains at 0xd0020080 is 0xd0000000 ? You'll believe you're still
mapped at the old location.

Now that I think of it, not sure of what will happen though, you will
write 0xf1000000 at this address, and then continue with the rest of
boot. Would that be a problem?

Thanks,

Thomas
