But as Graeme mentioned if the new initcall framework makes it clean and maintainable I am hoping that you will consider it more favorably. And this is indeed a new argument because the biggest objection previously was that the no-relocation case will be difficult to maintain. As for ignoring comments, I think you are culpable of that more than me in this specific instance:) (of course I know you are busy person, but still..). For instance, my arguments in the previous round [1] never got an answer from you. [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/96371 best regards, Aneesh
