????????? What is that data thing?
I assumed that packing option roms or similar data hunks into an image might become more and more a default. But it does not really fit, I agree.
Now that you've explained it, I realize that's a really good idea. It would eliminate much kludgery that we have for the linuxbios splash image.
image normal NORMAL_SIZE
no, you need this info when you build the board, it can't move here.
What information is needed? I would have thought it's only the start address of the payload?
Actually it is good to have it here after all, as it is a double-check: if the "normal" image is not NORMAL_SIZE then there is a problem in building.
I would like as many checks as possible in this process, since when things go wrong the machine usually sits there with no output.
