With Michael's acks, I'll add this code (and the other patch) back in.

One more thing which we discussed with Michael, that the SDcard image 
for Duckbill could use the following partitions:

u-boot (0x53), rootfs1 for kernel/dtb (0x83), rootfs2 (0x83), data(0x83)

F.e. the second partition would be ext2 instead of fat, which could be supported with updating the uboot config to use ext2load instead of fatload. While this would be for Duckbill mainly, if people won't get annoyed this would be the default for the Olinuxino too.
