Jeff,

when you are at updating README.standalone, there's one notice I think 
would be worthwile to add as a precaution for external apps utilizing 
U-Boot: the code of the jumptable consumer should pay attention not to 
use U-Boot-dedicated registers (like r29 etc.) in order to safely go 
forth and back, or save/restore. This can bite for example when an 
external app code is built -O2 or higher and registers are used 
intensively. Would you care to add such a note along with your updates?

kind regards,
Rafal
