Dear Scott,

So download the image to 0x200000 ?
There's no device tree support yet, so the wrapper is being used, and that expects to be loaded at 0x400000. Even if that were changed,
Well, there are probably folks out there who continue to use 2.4 kernels (which on 8xx makes perfect sense to me).
moving it would mean there's less room for the relocated kernel, which gets moved down to zero (there's currently no way to tell the wrapper that the kernel's already uncompressed, so don't bother moving it at all).
Well, let's face it: if 0x200000 doesn't work as load address any more because your kernel is too big, then you won't get lucky with it at all on a 8 MB system.
I don't really care about the mpc885ads, but I feel you remove a feature which might be useful for some to overcome a restriction which does not really solve a problem, because you will just hang again in the next step.
But you decide...
Best regards,
