I've rewritten the bootm command to recognize an ARM zImage the same way as it already does with i368 zImages, hope that's ok with you.
Sorry, but it is not. I reject this modification.
As the comment in bootm says:
-#ifdef __I386__ /* correct image format not implemented yet - fake it */
if (fake_header(hdr, (void*)addr, -1) != NULL) {
The fact that one implementation, which is far from being complete, fails to implement something correctly, does not justuify to make this failure a standard.
Also, it makes no sense to me to implement this feature (should it be useful and needed) just for ARM - if it gets accepted, then I want to have a consistent interface for ALL architectures.
Anyway. "bootm" is a command to boot U-Boot images, which include the header. If you want to boot something else, then bootm is not the right command to use.
