Sure. With these patches in place, I'm able to boot U-Boot in Qemu, use
TFTP to load a kernel, flash it, and boot it. I've detailed what I've
done at http://thomas.enix.org/Blog-20081002153859-Technologie.

It works pretty well, except that I add to hack the CFG_HZ and timer
configuration values in U-Boot to get some same network timeout values
and such. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

If you want more details, I'll be glad to give them.

Sincerly,

Thomas
