I belive it should be pretty easy to port ubldr(8) to support AT91 as raj@ made it
working on the Marverll ARM platform.  I'm not sure which details should be
reimplemented, though, but from what I seen it should be quite a little work
required.

I'm just using plain uboot loading direclty from flash without Atmel 1st level
loader and then use uboot to load FreeBSD kernel/pass hints and kenv variables.
I think I posted the relevant code a couple of times to the list, but maybe it
really makes more sense to port loader(8) instead as my code isn't going to make
it into the official uboot distribution.
