If this address is near end of SDRAM, and since u-boot relocates itself to end of SDRAM,
you might risk an overlap, depending on malloc and stack sizes.

I'd advise to have AT91Bootstrap load u-boot to the very SDRAM start (so I did for
our board).

It might not be THAT easy. Also be aware that at91bootstrap is not GPL-ed...
