I'm always worried when somebody claims "this will not hurt  at  all"
but I see some sharp instruments behind his back. [Read: if he claims
"no  impact  on any other system", but the first glance shows obvious
changes in the memory footprint]


I cannot say  (yet)  is  the  implementation  is  clean,  or  if  the
additional  memory  is well spent. But this is a boot loader, and "1k
or 2k at worst" is 1 or 2 percent of the  total.  This  is  a  bigger
change  than  I  am  willing to ignore without understanding what for
this is good, and why it cannot be avoided.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

The biggest difference between time and space is that you can't reuse
time.                                                 - Merrick Furst
