All this is already taken care of. U-Boot uses a small area for initial RAM. 
Sometimes in D-cache, sometimes in onboard SRAM (SoC). IIRC, the 405EP has 
OCM, so this could be used here. You just need to configure this correctly in 
your board config file. Again I suggest you take a look at the zeus board as 
an example.

Best regards,
