Right. And again, don't expect something like: * Board A = 0xd0xxxxxx * Board B = 0xf1xxxxxx Depending on which bootloader, and which version of the bootloader you run, on a given board, the kernel may be booted with 0xd0 or 0xf1. And again, again. This 0xd0 was a mistake. We don't want to support moving forward. The only thing we want to support is 0xf1, nothing else. All the proposal is about a temporary workaround, just to make the transition smoother.
