The NT disk Signature is a unique 32-bit value in the MBR allowing
to identify a MSDOS partitioned disk. The signature can be used to
specify the Linux rootfs.
This patch adds support for the NT disk Signature in the form of a
device parameter which can both be read and written.

Some drivers use blk->ops->read/write. This bypasses the caching block
layer and was never intended like this. The upper API to the block layer
is the cdev layer. This patch adds block_read and block_write functions
and uses them where appropriate.

block_read and block_write collide with a to-be-introduced
global function, so rename the file operation functions.

Without devicetree support we print the Kernel commandline in
verbose mode. Do the same with devicetree boot aswell.

The detection of the partition table fails when we have a barebox image
in the MBR. So check only for partition table types.

memory_display is a function which should generally be available.
Currently it depends on memory command support being compiled in,
so move the function to a separate file.

Add a C interface to set and get the bootsource instance:
int bootsource_get_instance(void);
void bootsource_set_instance(int instance);
Also export the shell variable "bootsource_instance".

This way the bootsource is exported to the environment, even if unknown.

This patch seperates the imx independent from the arch independent code. The
following functions and enums are renamed:
- imx_bootsource() -> bootsource_get()
- imx_set_bootsource() -> bootsource_set()
- enum imx_bootsource -> enum bootsource

For making the same binary executable on different SoCs which have
different DRAM addresses we have to be independent of the compile
time link address.
This patch adds relocatable binary support for the ARM architecture.
With this two new functions are available. relocate_to_current_adr
will fixup the binary to continue executing from the current position.
relocate_to_adr will copy the binary to a given address, fixup the
binary and continue executing from there.
For the PBL and the real image relocatable support can be enabled
independently. This is done to (hopefully) better cope with setups
where the PBL runs from SRAM or ROM and the real binary does not.

This allows to boot a sequence of boot entries until one succeeds.
boot sources can be passed in $global.boot.default, which is now treated
as a list. Also a list of boot entries can be specified as arguments
to the boot script. The entries can be:
- a plain filename from /env/boot/
- a full path to an arbitrary file
- a directory containing boot entries
With this this command:
boot net nand-ubi /env/boot.d
would first use the /env/boot/net entry, if this fails the /env/boot/nand-ubi
entry and if this also fails the files from /env/boot.d/ (which could also
be links to boot scripts)
To make the above the default, global.boot.default would be specified as:
global.boot.default="net nand-ubi /env/boot.d"
