Dear Simon Glass,

This patch shows how to do this sort of thing on ARM. I would like to see this feature in mainline, but it makes more sense to do it properly if/when generic relocation is in. Then it will automatically work for all archs. For now it is a useful patch.
Sorry, as I see it your chances to get this in are epsilon.
I think the immediate focus should be on centralising the init sequence processing into /common/init.c and then bringing the new'initcall' architecture online
Once these have been done, any board can just specific:
SKIP_INIT(RELOC)
And this can be wrapped:
#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_SKIP_RELOC SKIP_INIT(RELOC) #endif
Done ;)
Which reminds me - did you do that pull request for your x86 refactor? If not, what is the plan?
I pushed the changes into the x86 sub-repo but noticed a minor glitch which breaks the build. On top of that, I've upgraded my dev machine to a 64-bit arch, moved from Ubuntu to Fedora and got a dud motherboard in the mix. So my dev machine is only just now back online, but I need to sort out the last few 64-bit build issues (which require U-Boot patches) and fix up the x86 sub-repo before sending the pull request.
Sorry for the dealy, but hopefully I'll have it all sorted by the end of the week
Regards,
Graeme
