I git-mailed the delta.

Tweaked docs and whitespace a little since the original mail. Removing
some residual stuff I thought I'd eventually support, but so far don't
(like driving to debug mode etc.).

That bumped up my upstream branch revision to dns/kwboot-3.

Things were mostly tested with a qnap TS-219P+ board. Guess at this
point it should at least be good enough to leave plugcomputer folks etc
with a solid brick/unbrick perspective.

Ideas + overall input certainly welcome.

Cheers,
Daniel
