    am335x: Make the iROM load only the bootblock and ROM stage.
    
    The bootblock and ROM stages are the only ones that are really required to be
    loaded in the quite limited on chip RAM during startup. Rather than load the
    whole image which requires everything to be small, load just the bootblock and
    the ROM stage, allowing the rest of the image to be arbitrarily large. Loading
    a minimal amount of stuff should also improve boot performance a little bit.
