I guess I don't see why bootm shouldn't be able to boot whatever types
of u-boot image files the code knows about.  Why make n different boot
commands for each format (unless there is a 'one ring to bind them
all' kind of master boot command that will call the correct one).

In any case, can it please wait for deletion until the other code is ready?
