Dear Allen Martin,

> Cortex A9 main processor.  Prior to this patch series this was
> accomplished by #ifdefing out any armv7 code from the early boot
> sequence and creating a single binary that runs on both both the
> ARM7TDMI and A9.  This was very fragile as changes to compiler options
> or any additions or rearranging of the early boot code could add
> additional armv7 specific code causing it to fail on the ARM7TDMI.

I'm really glad to see nvidia contributing to uboot.

It's a real pity it's not the same at the field of desktop graphics, my laptop 
is suffering badly because of that :-(

Best regards,
