Juergen Beisert 7081093531 Add a special command to load and start a bzImage on x86
Other architectures are supporting the uImage format used by barebox's 'bootm'
command. x86 does'nt. So, we need a special command to be able to boot the
x86 specific bzImage format.

Juergen Beisert 835aa6b599 Add a low level disk drive access driver
This is a low level disk drive communication driver. It uses the real mode
BIOS found on most x86 platforms, to read and write sectors. Used by the
generic disk driver.

Juergen Beisert c3a99ec501 Bring in the time reference for the x86 platforms
This code uses the always (hopefully) existing PIT device to get the time
reference for barebox.

Juergen Beisert 46348b5d65 Add a generic PC platform
This code adds a generic x86 platform, enabling barebox to act as a
bootloader like 'GRUB'. Very minimalistic, yet. Supports only a serial console
and is tested with QEMU only.

Juergen Beisert 7dcc15e819 Add functions to be able to boot with BIOSs help
These functions are special: They are running in the 16 bit real mode world
to bring up barebox on an x86 box.

Juergen Beisert c7f2adaf7d Bring in the first x86 specific code
Add some generic required code to make barebox work on x86.
Note: Resetting the CPU is unfinished yet. I need some ideas how to reset
this kind of architecture gracefully.
