Oh, yeah. We need to rename the U-Boot loader...

More comments: with 1GB, the API signature is not found. What we
probably should do is have the platform-specific entry set a
hint, which can be based on the address of the global data. In
other words: on PowerPC in start.S, we save r2 and use that to
control where we're going to search for the API signature.

FYI,
