NAK. Using an envuironment variable is definitely not a good idea, and probably not sufficient. Assume the situation where you have "autostart" set to "yes" and use DHCP to download and start the image, or where you use "tftp" followed by a "bootm" command to do the same. In both cases there is no direct "hook" to do what you ask for - ther eis no sane place where the envrionment variable would be set (in the network code?) nor where it would be taken into account.

If I have a plug-in for QE firmware blobs, couldn't the plug-in code just set the environment variable anyway?
