Ummm... what exactly is not clear enough with this comment in
"common/cmd_bootm.c":

        /*      
         * We have reached the point of no return: we are going to
         * overwrite all exception vector code, so we cannot easily
         * recover from any failures any more... 
         */      

??? Do you need additional explanations? What should be added?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
