I must have misunderstood you: didn't you want a solution that is
available on PPC, ARM and MIPS? It is not at all likely that the ARM
folks give up their ATAGs in favour of PPCs bi_recs because of a
boot-loader, let alone one they never wanted in the first place. Even
given that ATAG's and bi_recs are essentially the same, it will hardly
allow U-Boots implementation nor the kernel API to have much common
code.
