As I explained yesterday, I'm working on more cleanups that involve
reworking the dependencies around ZBOOTROM, AUTO_ZRELADDR and friends, 
and removing zreladdr for all platforms.  So please do not come up with 
Tegra specific hacks to fix this up.  So for the time being I'd simply 
suggest using the minimal fix i.e.:

	select AUTO_ZRELADDR if !ZBOOT_ROM

And eventually this will disappear entirely in favor of a single global 
config option which is not platform dependent.
