From my experience, the first stage bootloader (bootstrap) can't be done
platform independent. It will mostly consist of CPU-initialization and
SDRAM-setup. And this is platform or even board dependent. We should describe
what needs to be done in this bootstrap code, and perhaps come up with a
general infrastructure on where this code should be located in the source
tree.

Best regards,
