This shouldn't be hard-coded. IIRC, the boot ROM writes a BIT (Boot
Information Table) to a fixed location in IRAM, and there's some value
in the BIT that points to where the BCT is in IRAM. In practice, it
might work out that the BCT is always at the same place in IRAM, but
this certainly isn't guaranteed. I think there's code in U-Boot which
extracts the BCT location from the BIT? Yes, see
arch/arm/mach-tegra/ap.c:get_odmdata().
