Well this patch looks basically ok, except that
- It's not possible anymore for an OS to jmp at 0x1f000000 to reboot (is
it really necessary to simulate that).
- It's not possible anymore to add some code to initialize the GT64120
BARs the way YAMON does (and from our discussion on IRC, it looks like
this is necessary). It is also possible to modify the GT64120 code
directly, but that can mess a possible bootloader (when one is available).
So I suggest to hold this patch, at least until we have solved the
GT64120 BARs problem.
