AFAIK there's no reason not to let RedBoot be ROMRAM, but you'll probably
have to reserve more memory in your RAM startup MLT files to give it room.

Remember: from the linker's POV, ROMRAM startup should have things placed
in RAM already. And there should be nothing special to RedBoot for this I
believe. You could have a look at David Airlie's ROMRAM patch for the PID,
posted on 1st March which may help. I'll have to chase up that getting
patch incorporated...
