Wolfgang, I didn't get a response from you about my last email on this thread, 
so I just want to make sure that you understand that my patch, "Fix initrd 
length miscalculation in bootm command," does fix a real bug in do_bootm_linux().

Here's the changelog for the patch:

"The do_bootm_linux() function was using the same variable ('len') to calculate
the the dtu length and the initrd length, which meant that the initrd length
was incorrect.  This patch creates renames 'len' and 'data' to 'initrd_len'
and 'initrd_data', thereby preventing any future confusion.  It also deletes
'len' and 'data' because the dtu calculations don't actually need them."

The tracking number is DNX#2007020542000011.
