This will need some userspace changes to work properly. The BMC will 
still boot if this is merged by itself, but there might be trouble 
updating environment variables without a serial connection (of 
particular concern would be the MAC address...). fw_setenv may update 
the flash without the correct "valid" byte that exists for redundant 
environments, and so u-boot will probably consider the updated flash 
invalid and switch to the other copy every time you reboot.

Thanks,
Eddie
