Thanks for the patch!

Works for me on both the cubox-i4x4 and cubox-i4pro, so I'll add it to
the u-boot package soon.

Might make some minor changes to the patch as not sure all 4GB capable
variants use the 4x4 name, and will see if i can figure out a clever way
to only distribute a single u-boot.img file since they're identical
(thanks to reproducible builds).

Still come up as mmcblk0 for my cubox-i4x4 running 3.16.x from
jessie. My guess is it's kernel version specific, and so I'm going to
rely on people figuring that much out on their own...
