The 'go' command has to have an addres 0x100 higher than the load
adddress (to skip the elf headers and start at the true entry point).

Also, if you're using a modern u-boot that enables data caches, it won't
automatically disable them on a 'go' command (it does on bootm or
bootelf), so use this sequence: dcache off; dcache flush; go nnnnnnnn
