Comment (by JordanCrouse):

 pci=nobios can be removed if we disable CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS and
 CONFIG_PCI_GOANY and just go with CONFIG_PCI_GODIRECT.  IIRC,
 rootfstype=jffs2 needs to be specifically specified for silly reasons.
 The MTD guys wold probably know more.  I begrudgingly acknowledge the
 removal of the serial console - good bye old friend - you served us well.

 The video stuff probably has to remain due for legacy reasons (otherwise
 VGA out will default to 640x480).  Likewise the font has to stay since we
 will be using the console for development purposes.
