The common bootm code used to load uImage contents to SDRAM
before calling into the handlers if possible. This makes the
handlers complicated since they have to handle many cases. Instead,
introduce a helper to load the os after the handlers have figured
out a good load address.

We used to use struct image_data as the central data structure for bootm and
also as the input data structure. This makes it unclear which of the fields
are actually input data. This patch creates a struct bootm_data which is
exclusively used for input data to make usage clearer.
Also it moves the dispatching of multifile uImage pathnames to the core bootm
code so that the core code gets more flexible and the command code simpler.

Much of the bootm code is implemented in the command itself. Move
it to a common place to be able to call it from C aswell.

This makes it possible to modify the tree in the handlers.
This is necessary because the initrd addresses are only
known inside the handlers, but not to the generic bootm
code.

We currently use the environment variable 'bootargs' to get the
Linux bootargs. This patch allows for a more flexible bootargs
generation using global variables. With it the Linux bootargs
are concatenated from multiple variables. This allows to replace
parts of the bootargs string without having to reconstruct it
completely.
With this bootargs can be constructed like:
global linux.bootargs.base="console=ttyS0,115200"
global linux.bootargs.ip="ip=dhcp"
global linux.mtdparts="physmap-flash.0:512K(nor0.barebox),-(root)"
This will then automatically be combined into a kernel bootargs
string during boot.
If the 'linux.bootargs.' variables are all empty the old standard
'bootargs' way will be used.

This switches the bootm code to the new uimage code. Also
bootm can now handle other types of images than uImages.
Currently the only architecture making use of this is
arm which allows to boot zImages, raw images and barebox
images.
I intended to make a more bisectable series from this but
I failed becuase there are many dependencies and no matter
how I tried the patches grew bigger and and bigger. So I
decided to put this all in a single patch.

We accidently have two list implementations in the tree:
include/list.h and include/linux/list.h. This patch moves
the latter (newer one) to include/linux/list.h.

This patch cleans up the do_bootm_linux() function. It removes most of
the uggly ifdefery and replaces it by a sane function optimizing
structure.
