Won't it be easier to create a preprocessing function that'd
fill gd properly, so uboot can generate the atags through
standard means then?
Do you mean to generate/copy other atags in board code? This will
not work because u-boot (in bootm.c) always passing ATAG_CORE in
function setup_start_tag. And I do not want to pass ATAG_CORE two
times to kernel (once which I copy from other bootloader and once
which generate u-boot).
No, I mean parse the old ATAGS from nolo and fill u-boot's internal structures 
with that. Then let uboot generate the ATAGS from it's internal structures as 
usual.
Best regards,
