 about 6 weeks ago i began doing stuff for the a10 card, here:
    http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/boot/

 then henrik merged that into sunxi-uboot and it of course became
immediately out-of-date :)

 then got the a20 one and this is where i got to:
    http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/

 best is for people to get onto #arm-netbooks and #linux-sunxi and
coordinate from there.  henrik's done some preparatory work already,
i've been through the process and published everything in the mailing
list archives.  i didn't want to do eeeverything for people, just in
case they wanted a _little_ bit of a challenge :)

 now that i recall, i had to patch the USB driver.  i'm amazed
allwinner hadn't spotted this, but then again they are doing enormous
amounts of cut-and-paste-itis: a simple diff of the usb sun4i driver
against the usb sun8i driver _immediately_ spotted the problem....
yep, here you go:
