Oops, I was just extrapolating that U-Boot would work.  I've quit using
it because of the extra configuration work (particularly the compiled
text files for the boot scripts).

I haven't looked into how SMP works, because I don't have the interrupt
support necessary yet (bcm2836-irq branch for hacks in that direction).

And in further testing, the USB is actually not working and I'm not sure
what gave me the idea that it was.
