I added this because of compiler warnings that it could be used 
uninitialized.

Hehe. Somehow I did know that this topic will come up. I intended to 
change the code as little as possible.

So essentially this would mean to rewrite this to reflect the structure 
of the ppc version. Will do if there are no objections.

If there are no objections I also would like to separate this patch from 
this series. This has some advantages:
- Support for the prep subcommand is essential for saving the boot 
parameters. (if prep is in saving can also be done manually)
- I think that there won't be much discussion about the usefulness of 
implementing this - just some about the how.

flag = 0 means that no subcommand was issued -> execute everything.

If no objections - will be done in the rewrite.

This is done to be able to get the fdt address in arch-dependent savebp 
cmd. Suggestions for a cleaner solution are welcome ;)
