Yes, it can be done, and it should be done. The fact that we don't do
it so far is due to the fact that the guys who did the original ARM
code found this too complicated (even though they had a working
example in the PowerPC code) and not worth the effort. We're suffering
since from this misconception.

But there is no reason why you would have to copy the  code  again  -
just copy it to the correct address right from the beginning, like we
do in PowerPC.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
