Sorry, I haven't had a chance to look at this yet, will try to do so 
next week.

I'm still in favour of the kernel taking it's cmdline args from 
whereever r5 is pointing at kernel launch time (as a null-terminated C 
string).  That makes it trivial to write bootloaders that pass params, 
and means that the kernel doesn't need to know or assume anything about 
the bootloader.

Regards,

John
