And I also forgot to mention that sometimes it is a really big advantage
to rely on no interrupt handlers running in the background. If I want to
test some hardware I usually write a small test program as a U-Boot
command and don't write a Linux or RTOS driver because I need a "bare"
system with a command line processor.
