To be clear, I think the fake partitioning scheme we use when the case is "we care about text/data/rodata/bss fitting in $X" is not optimal, but it covers all of the cases without adding more complexity / another way to achieve the same ends.
But it does add more complexity; somebody has to pick, and potentially keep adjusting, the split between text/rodata/data and bss, even though they don't care about that split, but it's an implementation wart. It's also trivial to fix it properly as I described.
But, if it absolutely has to be that way, then OK. However, I would ask that at least the Tegra board configuration files be set up so that the previous overall restriction (bss doesn't overlap the main U-Boot) be left in tact, so we don't have to debug that problem again.
