Ummm... I'm not sure what you are referring to.

The current topic of the discussion (which format to use for an
extended "bootm" command) has obviously no relation to your
statement.

And that the static blob that comes with the kernel image must be
"fixed up" (which means that board specific parameters like memory
size, clock frequencies and MAC addresses must be added/inserted/ap-
pended/whatever) has been discussed before.

So what exactly do you mean?
