0x00000000 is physical memory location, so if MMU turned off, memory
operations not translated (virtual <--> physical). Physical memory
location may vary between different ARM CPUs, IIRC.
But for Kirkwood - this is true.

And also important which base we set in kernel while compiling,
because code may start to work on every location, but first jump will
call some black hole :)
