i think we have UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT, UBOOT_ENTRYSYMBOL and
UBOOT_LOADADDRESS which are then used to generate the uImage
and sometimes defaults from kernel build system may not be usable as
it might be generating the image using some other values and we are not
able to control the image generation. Now is that fixable in kernel I guess
it could be but why not have flexibility of generating the image.
