Keep in mind the processor UM documentation section that covers these
boot methods is labeled "Bootstrap Operations". It refers the registers
that the EEPROM values populate as "bootstrap registers", etc.

There is some logic in tying the section of the processor manual to the
command. Whatever the command ends up being labeled, it would be nice if
its purpose was clear to those who actually work in 4xx space.

Not to mention there is documentation referencing the current commands
used by the evaluation platforms.
