Jerry, Kumar,

I think it would be better to have this patch (and other ones by Kumar
that touch booting-related code) go through the new-image branch.
Otherwise we'll have merge conflicts down the road, especially since
we've got a big patch coming, that adds framework for new image
handling. I'd like to have this framework patch merged first, then take
care of (re-based) boot-related patches that have been posted recently.

Regards,
Bartlomiej
