read some mails that make me not sure the kboot  work  process.so i 
write down my think
tell me is it wrong.

boot process
  1. update mode  (i mean update normal kernel and rootfs)
       (kboot-stage1)------->(kboot's kernel + kboot's 
rootfs)-------->(normal kernel + normal rootfs)
                                                                                             
^

then we can update normal kernel and rootfs or do some other things at here

  2. phone mode  (i mean normal boot the phone)
      (kboot-stage1)-----|--->(normal kernel + normal rootfs (NAND)
                               or|--->(boot from SD 
card)                     this is most time we use the phone.

then the first-stage have a name "figleaf" ?
