Ok, I will empty it.

I was thinking I should write the IPL in lowlevel_init.S (the part which should
be in 0x800 bytes, and which will load the remaining of barebox from the
disk-on-chip ROM part at address 0).

I still don't know if I should design a separate assembly file from barebox, but
my goal was to have it all in barebox (like grub where there's a first stage of
512 bytes and another big stage).

Maybe. My idea was :
 - if power button is not pressed (GPIO0) and the reset is triggered by a
 power/true reset, the IPL will put back the cpu into deep-sleep
 - else light up the keyboard led
 - eventually put SDRAM out of self-refresh
 - eventually jump to resume vector if out of deep-sleep
 - read SPL from docg3
 - jump to SPL (ie. to barebox)

In order to achieve this, I need gpios in the first IPL to activate LEDs.
