Oh, we will work around it over the transition, so it's not a big deal..

It was just kinda nice, (if we assume all boards have xlo/u-boot in
nand) that most boards would boot on one boot.scr/kernel/rootfs
combination.  Since the mainline kernel can boot on all omap2/3/4
boards (in mainline) at this point..

But since both the xM/Panda don't have nand, my point's kinda moot as
they'll need a different xlo/u-boot...
