Unfortunately, ARM is still different. For example, for the PXA it works
like this: 

- cpu/pxa/start.S: reset code; relocate U-Boot to RAM (no probing);
  setup stack; clear BSS

- lib_arm/board.c: start_armboot(): all kinds of uggly initialisation
  steps; init_sequence has a call to board_init().
