I think we should have a (simple) image header, that at least provides
information about the size - but eventually we might want to know the
load and entry point addresses as well, so we could as well just reuse
struct image_header for this purpose, too.

One use case we should keep in mind here is not to load the regular
U-Boot image, but something completely different - like a Linux
kernel, for example.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
