How about some way of board/controller/etc. code plugging in commands to 
"nand" without "hwfunc"?  Could be a chained handler, or copying entries 
into a command table, or some way of generalizing the stuff in 
common/command.c to operate on multiple command lists.  Though without 
some change to how linker scripts are managed, to be practical that last 
option would need to avoid introducing a new section per subtable (maybe 
just filter out others when iterating).  Would be nice to get tab 
completion on subcommands.
