This series adds generic board support to sandbox and switches to use this always.
With sandbox it was noticed that turning CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD off can cause a build failure if a previous autoconf.mk exists which indicates that generic board is not supported, so a patch is provided to fix this.
It is useful to convert a pointer into an 'address' in the sandbox RAM buffer - the opposite of map_sysmem(). This is added in this series and used in several places.
With sandbox it is easier to read a file from the host than to use the CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE option, since this option requires knowledge of the executable image structure which is not really appropriate on the host system. A new CONFIG_OF_HOSTFILE provides this.
A few related FDT changes are included in this series also.
The -c option is enhanced to support passing entire scripts to sandbox. This is useful when writing non-trivial test code.
Most of these patches were previously submitted as part of the verified boot effort. This series collects the independent sandbox-related patches together to make it easier to review. THe whole series is marked as version 3 for this reason.

And I'd say 3/4/5 should be squashed into one patch, but it's your arch so I'l defer if you think it adds bisect value or similar to do it in that manner.
I did that so that it could be kind-of an example of how this can be done for an arch, given that I am not planning to convert the rest. By removing the dead code in a separate step it seemed a bit clearer to me.
But it's fine either way - I will squash it and resend.
