Hi Simon,
Add an image type for EFI applications, which U-Boot supports reading.
Not necessarily a bad idea, but what would the image type be of a Linux kernel that is also an EFI application? See:
Hmm that's a good question. That is one of the challenges with EFI, that we don't know what we are booting. Is there a way to tell whether an EFI app is a kernel, or not?
For PXE/extlinux we have a 'kernel' line and in that case I set it to IH_TYPE_KERNEL
Cheers,
Mark
