Anyone know why we pass the image_header_t * to the netbsd loader?

this is some pretty tight coupling with u-boot. Is the stage-2 loader part of u-boot?

I believe this is meant to be NetBSD's last stage bootloader and not any U-Boot piece. See for example their PREP loader variant: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/arch/prep/stand/

As I understand it, to boot NetBSD from U-Boot they produce a fat image (the above stage2 loader + kernel as a multi-image file), which is booted via bootm, but I never exercised the procedure myself.
