"bootm" is intended to boot an image located somewhere in system
memory. It will pass arguments like the booargs and the FDT to the
kernel. It evaluates bootargs and substitured env vars for this. It
might not be insane to expect that it also does reasonable things to
the FDT.

I'm not in a position to determine what's reasonable there, though.
