+The savebp (=save boot parameters) is used to save a boot parameter image to
+non-volatile memory.
+
+To execute the command everything has to be in place as if bootm should be
+used.
+(kernel image, initrd-image, fdt-image etc.)
+
+Call is:
+savebp [ftd|atags] [nand_offset] [kernel_addr] [initrd_addr] [fdt_addr]
+
+Only the first parameter [ftd|atags] is mandatory if the others are left blank
+standard values are used.
+
+e.g:
+savebp fdt 0x680000 0x82000000 0x80000100 -
+savebo atags
+
+typical call on OMAP3:
+nandecc hw
+nand read 0x82000000 0x280000 0x400000 /* Read kernel image from NAND */
+tftpboot 0x80000100 devkit8000.dtb /* Read fdt */
+savebp fdt 0x680000 0x82000000 0x80000100 - /* Save the image */
+
+------------Behind the scene---------------
+Atm the implementation is that we have /common/cmd_savebp.c which implements
+the command tself and the subcommand calls to bootm.
+Then the arch specific implementation of do_save_atags or do_savebp_fdt
+in /arch/arm/lib is called.
