OK I was wondering about that.

The messy thing about zimage is that the command line comes from the
setup.bin in the kernel, and then needs to be modified. So you can't
just blindly use the 'bootargs' var. Perhaps that is why it wasn't
done?

I also feel eventually that bootm could subsume zboot given the
similarities. Or maybe zboot just dies if people stop using the old
boot approach?
