Hello everybody,
I'm working on getting d-i support for riscv64 into a useable

Hello,
while working on riscv64 support in d-i I have stumbled over a problem

Follwing is the updated version of the patchset. I have run
successful installation tests with all image types generated by
it and it builds cleanly in pbuilder, so I intend to push it to
d-i master for inclusion in d-i RC2.

Most systems encode the console baudrate in the ${console} variable, but
several i.MX6-based systems do not. As ${console} gets passed to the kernel,
we need to explicitly add the baudrate on i.MX6-based systems to avoid
a baudrate mismatch between u-boot and kernel.

Hello,
several armhf systems do not have u-boot (or another firmware) in
non-volatile (i.e. ROM/Flash) memory, but instead store their
system firmware on a removable medium such as an SD card. In
many cases the user does not receive a suitable firmware medium
