Do we really want to have a common bootstrap source code base, or do we just define what the bootstrap needs to do before U-Boot is loaded into SDRAM?
From my experience, the first stage bootloader (bootstrap) can't be done platform independent. It will mostly consist of CPU-initialization and SDRAM-setup. And this is platform or even board dependent. We should describe what needs to be done in this bootstrap code, and perhaps come up with a general infrastructure on where this code should be located in the source tree.
