Right. And again, don't expect something like:

 * Board A = 0xd0xxxxxx
 * Board B = 0xf1xxxxxx

Depending on which bootloader, and which version of the bootloader you
run, on a given board, the kernel may be booted with 0xd0 or 0xf1.

And again, again. This 0xd0 was a mistake. We don't want to support
moving forward. The only thing we want to support is 0xf1, nothing else.

All the proposal is about a temporary workaround, just to make the
transition smoother.
