Is there any particular reason to not just do a direct call to 
cuboot_init, and move the memcpy and end-of-ram calculation there?  I'd 
rather avoid macros if possible.

Also, the "extern char _dtb_start[], _dtb_end[];" line in cuboot.c 
doesn't appear to be needed.

Other than that, it looks good.
