Thanks.

Sorry, that's a term we use in Freescale.  We have in-house code that has not
yet been posted on this mailing list for the "official" U-Boot.  That's what I
mean by posting externally.  I guess I need a better term for that.  We also
call that "upstream".

I haven't written the code yet.  I want to make sure the idea is acceptable
before I start implementing it.  Plus, since our internal code is different than
our "external" code, I need to manage both code bases independently.
