I think the intent of relocation is that the u-boot image can always put itself at the end of SDRAM, regardless of how much ram is on the board. Not important for ports that have soldered down chips, but useful if the board has expandable memory.
Also extremely useful for boards that have soldered down chips, but are available in several configurations as this saves the board manufacturer from the maintenance nightmare of having to select the correct out of so many different U-Boot binary images.
