Here we go:

- Add "select HAVE_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_NEW" to your board config
- Enable CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT in the default config
- move everything that should be run during startup to one or multiple
  scripts in /env/init/. For example the at91sam9260ek has some stuff
  depending on $armlinux_architecture, that should be done in an init
  script.
- create /env/boot/* scripts several examples can be found in the tree
- Create /env/nv/* variables for the corresponding global variables that
  you wish to have. do a "find -name nv" to see what I mean.
- /env/config should normally be empty in the board code, then the
  generic one from defaultenv/defaultenv-2-base/config is used
- MTD partitions should for now be defined in /env/init/mtdparts-* or later
  in the device tree.
