Indeed, I think it's worth committing probably, or perhaps committing
a modified version that does the same thing.  It's easy to imagine
that some people will eventually want to just use loader with U-Boot
on Octeon so that they can have hints, good UFS support, module
loading, etc.

Also, Warner, if you touch octeon_machdep.c, could you please move the
app boot descriptor thing to a separate header file with the Cavium
license?  I believe I've touched all of the actual *source code*
there, but right now we're possibly violating the license (depending
on how big you believe a page is) which requires the license to be at
the top of the file.  So I think moving the license and struct to a
separate header would be sufficient (using the structure from the
current SDK would probably be even better?)
