Why would you need to do that? All it does is load the second stage boot
program from SD.

"Proper" computers are a different thing (I see the raspberry pi as an
embedded device, not a computer). A desktop PC has a battery-powered
clock, and usually set-up parameters that need to be maintained, even if
the BIOS is in flash. Embedded computers, such as the RPI, don't use
batteries or super caps.
