New Revision: 316377
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/316377

Log:
  Correct a comment... the stack used by ubldr is the same stack u-boot was
  running on when it jumped to the ubldr entry point.  None of the arches
  that use this code set up a different stack in their start.S routines.
