What distro is this for? My concern here is that hundreds of boards
(literally) grow by a few hundred bytes to add in this bit of additional
default logic. That's not a big problem if distributions are now going
to be using SPI flash as where they're programming in their bootscript.
But, who is doing that? Thanks!
