We kind of have to do it again in Linux because we don't know what
was loaded or if it will match the drivers we have.   There are boards
that load CPM microcode patches, aren't running U-Boot, and would
often fail because we couldn't keep the Linux configuration or driver
modifications in sync with the board boot roms.

Thanks.
