On the TS boards, I believe that the maximum size of the kernel is
0x2B4000 bytes, including the initramfs data. That's 2.8 MB approximately.
This is not a completely hard limit, it's only there because the RedBoot
configuration data comes at 0x61FF8000. Of course, if you overwrite the
redboot configuration your bootloader will no longer work.
