take a look a "parse_tags()" in "arch/arm/kernel/setup.c".
Well, what I do not understand is how the pointer to the tagged list is communicated between the bootloader and the kernel. The theKernel() call does only get the architecture number, whereas $LINUX/Documentation/arm/Booting says that r1 has to hold the machine type and r2 the pointer to the tagged list. Where is the latter one assigned?
