I'm sorry but i can't quite understand the objective. The user has a
full and easy control over uSD contents so if he wants to use the NAND
kernel he can just make sure uSD doesn't have bootable (according to
Qi's notion partitions) so the whole card will be skipped and the NAND
kernel started anyway. What advantages does your patch have over
simply skipping the card automatically?
