I wasn't aware of these design goals... I believe one can also modify the
default dts file such that the RAM size is not dynamically detected so the
fixups aren't required(although keep in mind I haven't tested this).
Although it is quite convenient to add the fixed-head.o so one can jump
into the simpleImage at offset 0 rather than having to check what the
offset should be each time a change is made.
