We don't, we read it all again from the NAND, same as the CPU read it
from NAND to get the 4KBytes into the steppingstone for us to start.

	/*
	 * We got the first 4KBytes of the bootloader pulled into the
	 * steppingstone SRAM for free.  Now we pull the whole bootloader
	 * image into SDRAM.

	...

	/* We randomly pull 24KBytes of bootloader */
	if (nand_read_ll((unsigned char *)TEXT_BASE, 0, 24 * 1024) < 0)
		goto unhappy;

currently we pull fixed 24KByte area from start of NAND into TEXT_BASE
in start_qi.c.
