  * Breath some life into the board...
  *
- * Initialize an SMC for serial comms, and carry out some hardware
- * tests.
+ * Getting the board up and running is a three-stage process:
+ *  1) Execute from Flash, SDRAM Uninitialised
+ *     At this point, there is a limited amount of non-SDRAM memory
+ *     (typically the CPU cache, but can also be SRAM or even a buffer of
+ *     of some peripheral). This limited memory is used to hold:
+ *      - The initial copy of the Global Data Structure
+ *      - A temporary stack
+ *      - A temporary x86 Global Descriptor Table
+ *      - The pre-console buffer (if enabled)
  *
- * The first part of initialization is running from Flash memory;
- * its main purpose is to initialize the RAM so that we
- * can relocate the monitor code to RAM.
+ *     The following is performed during this phase of execution:
+ *      - Core low-level CPU initialisation
+ *      - Console initialisation
+ *      - SDRAM initialisation
+ *
+ *  2) Execute from Flash, SDRAM Initialised
+ *     At this point we copy Global Data from the initial non-SDRAM
+ *     memory and set up the permanent stack in SDRAM. The CPU cache is no
+ *     longer being used as temporary memory, so we can now fully enable
+ *     it.
+ *
+ *     The following is performed during this phase of execution:
+ *      - Create final stack in SDRAM
+ *      - Copy Global Data from temporary memory to SDRAM
+ *      - Enabling of CPU cache(s),
+ *      - Copying of U-Boot code and data from Flash to RAM
+ *      - Clearing of the BSS
+ *      - ELF relocation adjustments
+ *
+ *  3) Execute from SDRAM
+ *     The following is performed during this phase of execution:
+ *      - All remaining initialisation

 /*
- * All attempts to come up with a "common" initialization sequence
- * that works for all boards and architectures failed: some of the
- * requirements are just _too_ different. To get rid of the resulting
- * mess of board dependend #ifdef'ed code we now make the whole
- * initialization sequence configurable to the user.
- *
- * The requirements for any new initalization function is simple: it
- * receives a pointer to the "global data" structure as it's only
- * argument, and returns an integer return code, where 0 means
- * "continue" and != 0 means "fatal error, hang the system".
