What I was replying to had nothing to do with investigations of
deleting or otherwise avoiding armstub8-gic.bin .

It was about why something like "device_tree_address=0x4000" is
needed when something like armstub8-gic.bin is in use.

I'm not currently working on your direction of avoiding
armstub8-gic.bin .

By the way, the naming conventions involved in finding armstub*.bin's
allow the file to be renamed in order to not be found, instead of
having to delete the file.
