The extension I made can just as easily be a function that
returns a dev. tree.
- One can have a dev. tree update procedure similar to rendundant env. The funktion then selects which dev. tree
is valid and passes
that back.
The function can construct a dev. tree from builtin rules/code.
One can even make it tftp a tree at boot and pass that back. Great in a development env. especially if you are debugging the
dev. tree.
and the kicker is that you can still override this tree at
runtime by passing
a dev. tree argument to bootm.
All this will be possible by the simple patch I posted
earlier, included
below.
Um... and which of these cannot be done without your patch?
The kicker part, override the tree at runtime. It is also a bit easier do the above my way than messing with a env variable.
