I just would like to point out that this is also a great chance to get
rid of a lot of architecture dependent code:

	lib_arm/bootm.c
	lib_avr32/bootm.c
	lib_blackfin/bootm.c
	lib_i386/bootm.c
	lib_m68k/bootm.c
	lib_microblaze/bootm.c
	lib_mips/bootm.c
	lib_nios/bootm.c
	lib_nios2/bootm.c
	lib_ppc/bootm.c
	lib_sh/bootm.c
	lib_sparc/bootm.c

There is a LOT of duplicated code in these files...


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
