Wolfgang Denk a2681707b2 Feature Removal: disable "mtest" command by default
The "mtest" command is of little practical use (if any), and
experience has shown that a large number of board configurations
define useless or even dangerous start and end addresses.  If not even
the board maintainers are able to figure out which memory range can be
reliably tested, how can we expect such from the end users?  As this
problem comes up repeatedly, we rather do not enable this command by
default, so only people who know what they are doing will be
confronted with it.

As this changes the user interface, we allow for a grace period
before this change takes effect. For now, we make "mtest"
configurable through the CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST variable, which is defined
in include/config_cmd_default.h;  we also add an entry to
doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt which announces the removal of this
default setting in two releases from now, i. e. with v2013.07.

README.zfs zfs: Add ZFS filesystem support 2012-08-09 23:42:20 +02:00

This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot.

To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with
#define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS

Steps to test:

1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen
   in the boot loader prompt using
        UBOOT #help

        zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system
        zfsls  - list files in a directory (default /)

2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute
        zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file]
        For example:
        UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/

3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute
        zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
        For example:
        UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage
