Please feel free to contribute and improve the documentation...

On PowerPC: yes.

Well, IMO the user ("user" in the sense of one who  uses  an  already
running  U-Boot)  is  supposed  to  read  the manual first, while the
README (and even more the project pages in the  wiki)  are  important
for  a  developer  (one  who  configures, builds and runs U-Boot). As
such, command usage (as for the "go" command) is expected to be found
in the manual. Implementation and porting details can be found in the
doc/README.standalone file, which is IMO ok, too. I think it makes no
sense to litter the README with  all  information  about  everything.
YMMV, of course.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
