Hi Ian, there is some issues with that commit that I've run into when
trying to get FreeBSD booting on my Xilinx Zinq 7010-based board.
Basically, the instructions we have on Wiki suggests that the ubldr loading
address to be 0x100000. That makes ubldr panic with "not enough DRAM"
error. I've added some debug code into the for loop, you can find the
output below. As you can see the code is not handling the case when ubldr
is below 2MB and as such sblock == eubldr. On top of that, this_block and
this_size may be left uninitialized causing loading at some random address
and panicing then, instead of DRAM is too small panic.

kernel_addr=0x100000
ubldr_addr=0x100000
dtb_addr=0x1000
dtb_name=system.dtb
uenvcmd=echo Booting FreeBSD from SD...; mmcinfo && fatload mmc 0
${ubldr_addr} ubldr && fatload mmc 0 ${dtb_addr} ${dtb_name} && fdt addr
${dtb_addr} && bootelf ${ubldr_addr}
