Why are you doing this?  Why can't you just use a standard zImage
format and bootloader like all other systems use?  It just seems to
me you are coding yourselves deeper into a hole where every little
kernel interface change means a new boot rom.
Well, I was under the impression that the whole point of using bi_recs
was to avoid changes in the future.  Isn't that the point?  (a
consistant interface that's forward/backward compatible)
But the bi_recs in 2.5 won't look like 2.4.current.
