relocating itself to the top-of-RAM later during execution.

+config SYS_INIT_SP_BSS_OFFSET
+ int
+ help
+ U-Boot typically uses a hard-coded value for the stack pointer
+ before relocation. Define this option to instead calculate the
+ initial SP at run-time. This is useful to avoid hard-coding addresses
+ into U-Boot, so that can be loaded and executed at arbitrary
+ addresses and thus avoid using arbitrary addresses at runtime. This
+ option's value is the offset added to &_bss_start in order to
+ calculate the stack pointer. This offset should be large enough so
+ that the early malloc region, global data (gd), and early stack usage
+ do not overlap any appended DTB.

+config LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_HEADER
+ bool
+ help
+ Place a Linux kernel image header at the start of the U-Boot binary.
+ The format of the header is described in the Linux kernel source at
+ Documentation/arm64/booting.txt. This feature is useful since the
+ image header reports the amount of memory (BSS and similar) that
+ U-Boot needs to use, but which isn't part of the binary.
