Thanks for the info William.
Great work, as usual. =)

Regarding the loading an initrd, that is high on my priority list to solve.
It might be a problem with the kernel, or u-boot... too early to say for sure.

Might be unrelated, but I think this is similar to what we are seeing
with omap4.
The 3.11 kernel is happy with 'bootm kernel - fdt', but sad with
'bootm kernel initrd fdt'.
Could be a coincidence.
