Hi.
Thanks for the link. This describes pretty much what I already have
discovered myself.
What I am interested in in is the exact method used for passing on a
command to the bootloader.
Where in the kernel source is the functionality and where in the
bootloader source is it picked up?
I would really appreciate if anyone can enlighten me on this, I have
spend quite a lot of time searching for this without much luck.

I think the thing you are missing is that the boot loader is not (as far
as I know) open source. There is (was - have not looked in quite a
while, and my info might be out of date) an implementation of the
fastboot protocol in the AOSP tree, but that's just the USB protocol for
talking between the boot loader and a PC through a USB cable, not the
boot loader itself.
As such, you can look at what the kernel does in order to leave the mark
for the boot loader to boot into recovery, but not what the boot loader
is doing with this info.
I hope this clears up the confusion (or, make someone correct me, so I
know better :-).
