[U-Boot] [PATCH RFT 0/2] Beagleboard SPL support

Hey all,

I'm looking for more testers for the following series of patches.
This switches Beagleboard from using x-loader to load U-Boot to
using SPL to provide that loader.  This depends on:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/117648/ which is in u-boot-arm
and for devkit8000:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/120500/ which is in u-boot-arm
and
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/121958/ which I posted earlier today.

For convenience I've placed all of this into:
https://github.com/trini/u-boot/tree/rft-beagle-spl-testing-oct26

I'm also looking for feedback on the memory initalization hook.  In the
near term I think we need to take a real good look at what's (not)
happening in the memory initalization code we have today and maybe
do some rework / pruneing and say if you're seeing problems afterwards
it's time to switch your board to SPL.  But I think that's a little
outside the scope of what needs to happen first, which is converting
as many boards to SPL as we can.  And I think for the most part this
is a mechanical process now (figure out what magic x-loader, or
whatever, does for memory timing values, fill those in to the hook).
