Is there an use for that? Why is using start_linux or start_netbsd

It is better to reuse existing code in u-boot, because we don't
need to patch and rebuild the u-boot for each platform. For example
our beaglebone port downloads a pre-built u-boot and puts it on the
SD card.

More importantly even, if i look at this code there's very little
added functionality there compared to the existing OS options. I think
you'll have a hard time getting that upstreamed, I personally would
wait with something like this until we:
1. Actually have a reasonable state of the Haiku/ARM port
2. Have a real reason for making U-Boot changes for Haiku(/ARM)
They are much more likely to accept patches from us then. For now, it
is much more sensible to be able to start an Haiku image from a
"stock" U-Boot I think.
