As described in the README. A new cpu directory is only needed when
you add support for a new processor.

Right.

You cannot boot over NFS - that would require TCP/IP and a lot more.
U-Boot can only use DHCP/BOOTP/TFTP for network booting.

Just use the commands "loads" or "loadb".

Normally you don't need to do anything in a CPU specific directory.
Follow the instructions in the README.

You know that feeling when you're leaning back on a stool and it
starts to tip over? Well, that's how I feel all the time.
