OK, I haven't completely lost it then :-) In that case, are you looking
for any additional changes/dialog/acks here? If not, the version with
bb.debug() is now in the contrib branch:

  git://git.pokylinux.org/poky-contrib dvhart/oe/u-boot
  http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=dvhart/oe/u-boot

I can resend as V3 if more discussion is desirable.
