Theoretically you are right, but I guess it's hardcoded in the bootloader
(PSPBoot) which doesn't give any choice on where stuff is loaded to. As I don't
have the sources of that, I cannot replace it (apart from that, "normal" users
may not want to replace a bootloader even if it was possible, as it is a risky
thing to do).
The same obviously applies for the mtd partitioning scheme and prom-environment
signature which are also pure software differences...
Was U-Boot or eCos/RedBoot ever ported to AR7? If yes, I might give it a shot...
(the board I got has EJTAG, so I dare to do quite everything with it)

Anyway, I'm currently preparing a new series of patches which will integrate
AC49x as a subtarget of AR7 with way less code duplication involved... I'll
propose it together with sub-targetting the target/ar7 once I got things
sufficiently tested.
