Very nice contribution! I glanced through your changes and they looked
good to me as far as I could tell (I don't understand the arm- and
beaglebone-specific details).

There is one thing I noticed when porting HelenOS to MIPS Malta and the
port to BeagleBoard XM and BeagleBone seem to confirm my observation -
even the loader is becoming increasingly #ifdef'ed. We will probably
need to introduce a similar level of indirection as we have in the
kernel machine ops on arm32. Without it, the loader is becoming quite a
mess.
