as i was playing with the current git repo of u-boot for my BBB, i
ended up having to apply a couple small patches, if anyone was trying
the same and ran into issues:

that first snippet fixes some *obvious* breakage, where someone who
was refactoring header file stuff simply dropped the actual kernel
load operation, whereupon you will always get an error that the kernel
image is the wrong format (because it was just never loaded into RAM).
the second snippet is for the part of the boot command such that, if
you try and boot off of mmc dev 0 and that fails, the command switches
to try mmc dev 1, but to be consistent, it should also try to mount
the root filesystem off of that mmc device as well (IMHO).
thoughts? feedback?
