I checked, and it seems, that the kernel doesn't check anywhere nor the 
initrd_start and initrd_size, nor the flash_start and flash_size 
environment parameters, but checks the memsize and ethaddr parameters. 
At least I couldn't find it. Is it true, or I'm blind? Did anybody use 
this U-Boot feature?
