Any chance I could download a pre-built binary?  (It’s been a couple of decades 
since I actually built any binaries… |-: )

Please forgive my curiosity.  I’m trying to understand how this process works…

Do I understand correctly that this is part of the definition of a structure 
that contains memory config parameters and gets passed from u-boot to the 
kernel when it gets control?  And why is this determined by a compile-time 
value?  Wouldn’t it be more flexible if the kernel (or u-boot) discovered it at 
run-time?  For example, by probing successively higher memory locations until 
it got a men-fault?

Fascinating… What other things, besides memory config, get passed this way? 

Thanks!
Rick
