This was a mistake of mine. I updated tests partially based on eCosCentric
sources, but missed the CDL.

The eCosCentric version has some things your version doesn't, so I'm applying
that preferentially (sorry).

Also, while those default values may be appropriate for the synthetic flash,
I'm more concerned about real hardware, where the offset would not nearly be
enough if RedBoot is on the board - it would overwrite chunks of it. It would
be too easy to accidentally brick a board, so I wouldn't want the offset as
small as that.

I'm attaching a patch for that, and committing it. Let me know if there are any
problems.
