Just to keep us busy, there are people that chose options
other than u-boot :-) For embedded systems that are really sensitive
to boot time and amount of flash used, they may only have minimal
instructions for processor initialization and then jump to the
compressed kernel image. I'm not going to discuss boot roms any
further (yes, I use u-boot every chance I get).
