Hello fellow Ubuntu developers:
I've been working on a specification to help resolve booting
difficulties on the ARM architecture, and I wanted to run it by the list
to make sure it meets everyones needs, and that as a whole we're overall
happy with said design.

Summary

Provide a softboot loader for ARM to address outstanding issues with the
wide variety of methods used to boot ARM devices, in a similar manner to
that does to support ps3. Such a softboot loader would be installed on
system flash or trusted boot media, to sufficiently enable the system to
boot from more common devices (USB sticks, optical drives, hard drives,
etc.).
