To be clear, I'm not saying we need to get rid of the ability to run
random bare metal apps. Just the bit where U-Boot exposes some API for a
few functions. We do not test it, and I do not know how well it works.
For what we provide there I would think just doing whatever one normally
does for basic stdio functionality on bare metal would be fine instead.

But I do need to be louder about my intentions here before just doing
it, so that others which do need / use it can chime in.
