Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| How about sidestepping the issue and have standard "rescue" kernel thats

| card ready to go (like a dual boot).  Doesnt need to be the latest, but
| have minimal functionality to recover a system.

We could do this, there is 8MByte partiton allocated for kernel in
Freerunner, the current kernel is ~2MByte.  So we could stick another
one at +4MBytes in the partition and have a fallback boot option in
U-Boot that just picks it up from that offset (accounting for bad blocks).
