Re: Move loader.c out of the kernel

[phcoder]

With a new swing in normal.mod splitting I think we should reconsider 
this patch. It's useless to keep loader.c in kernel without boot 
command. IMO it should be moved either to a perate boot.mod (my 
preference) or to minicmd.mod (not a good option IMO)
