From my experience, the first stage bootloader (bootstrap) can't be done 
platform independent. It will mostly consist of CPU-initialization and 
SDRAM-setup. And this is platform or even board dependent. We should describe 
what needs to be done in this bootstrap code, and perhaps come up with a 
general infrastructure on where this code should be located in the source 
tree.

Best regards,
