Re-reading this, I realize that I said “0x80000” for the environment location 
of legacy u-boot.  But when I went to test it, the true value turned out to be 
“0xa0000”.

Sorry for the confusion.  The latter value (0xa0000) is correct.

PS:  Just out of curiosity, was there a reason behind the change?  Or was it 
just one of those things that “seemed like a good idea at the time” ?
