That's nasty. I must have missed when we declared this a public ABI.
It's not really designed to be one. Was there public discussion on this?

I expect we'll have some grief from this in the future.

If it's really done this way we should at least add a version
number and a boot loader ID like the standard boot protocol
so that bugs later can be worked around. Also some Documentation
would be good. And comments. But discussion first.
