nits:
The length of the underline should match.
All of bootm, booti, and bootz invoke bootm_run_states() which calls
bootm_measure():
Measured legacy boot
--------------------
The commands booti, bootm, and bootz can be used for measured boot
using the legacy entry point of the Linux kernel.
Otherwise looks good to me.
