Well, what I do not understand is how the pointer to the tagged list is
communicated between the bootloader and the kernel. The theKernel() call
does only get the architecture number, whereas
$LINUX/Documentation/arm/Booting says that r1 has to hold the machine
type and r2 the pointer to the tagged list. Where is the latter one
assigned?
