Good. And Arnd likes the idea too. So we might be converging at
last which is a good thing.

I disagree with the idea that there is convergence.  There might be
convergence towards an idea, but... Here's a mail extract, from July
7th, from earlier in this very thread:

Me:

Are the ATAGs at a fixed address on the N900?

Yes, in board-rx51.c is:

.atag_offset    = 0x100

and Nokia Bootloader (proprietary) store them to that address.

Can that be handled in
some kind of legacy file for the N900 which calls save_atags() on
it, so we don't end up introducing yet more stuff that we have
to maintain into the distant future?  If not, what about copying
a known working atag structure into a legacy file for the N900?

I already asked question if it is possible to read ATAGs from DT
booted kernel. And somebody (do not remember who) wrote to ML,
that it is not possible and it can be done in that uncompress
code.

So you're converging on an idea that has already been rejected. 
That's not a good thing, IMHO.

Or in other case show that such implementation is possible...

Only those with the problem can do that.
