Why not use linux as bootloader?

Booting a (rather small) linux kernel with I²C support and either 
shutting down or kexecing another linux kernel (plus ramdisk) might be 
the solution. All one needs is a busybox (statically linked against 
uClibc), the kernel with needed disk and network drivers baked in, a 
statically linked kexec and a single shell script. If João Henrique 
wants to take this path, I am willing to help with further details.

Regards,
Mattias
