Okay, the answer is, it is still very much part of the binding, and
the m1n1 boot loader populates it.

This series is a subset of a larger series (remember the previous 34
or 35 patch series?), so there are things in the binding document
which are not included in this series.

I don't think it makes sense to break up the binding document given
that it has already been reviewed several times in its current state,
should we really remove this one property and throw away all that
review effort.
