I think that if you looked at all code for embedded micros 
then "reset" is likely to be the most common name for the first entry point after reset.

For the AT91 booting from dataflash, it is not appropriate, since 
the CPU has already been running the bootROM and the dataflashboot
when it reaches this point.

"u_boot_entry" or just "u_boot" would be a good label.
