New stuff doesn't necessarily mean new boot loaders. I don't have a lot
of control over the bootloaders on MSM. We can probably move away from
ATAGS, but only after every kernel that could possibly boot on that
target will work with DT. I don't see that happening for at least a
year.

New stuff doesn't necessarily mean new boot loaders. I don't have a lot
of control over the bootloaders on MSM. We can probably move away from
