_start is a label in the source code. You need to understand what
happens when you release your processor from reset: how and where it
starts executing code. In terms of u-boot software, the processor will
start executing at the _start label (note that u-boot supports many
different processors, all different in how they start running).
In terms of detail, the detail _is_ the source code and having us retype
it in email isn't useful.

You will have to read u-boot source and your processor's Reference
Manual, learn, and through that achieve understanding. It is a zen
thing. There is no magic shortcut to the zen of understanding. Sorry.
