Start a 2nd stage barebox with the Linux Kernel calling convention.
Right now barebox does not interpret ATAGs or devicetree passed
to it, but it doesn't hurt to pass parameters so that future bareboxes
can use them.

If a board does not specify a place for the atags list default to
SDRAM start + 0x100. The vast majority of boards uses this place
anyway, so the call to armlinux_set_bootparams() can be removed
for most boards.

This introduces some new environment variable helpers and updates
the existing ones. Newly introduced are:
getenv_bool: read a bool variable
getenv_ul: read an unsigned long variable
getenev_uint: read an unsigned int variable
getenv_nonempty: like normal getenv, but does return NULL instead of an
empty string
All new helpers take a pointer to the value. This value is only modified
when the variable exists. This allows the following programming scheme:
unsigned int myvalue = sanedefault;
getenv_uint("myvalue", &myvalue);
So without checking the return value myvalue contains the best possible
value.
getenv_ull is updated to this scheme.

This patch placed the flattened devicetree to armlinux_bootparams.
armlinux_bootparams normally is at SDRAM_START + 0x100. The kernels
initial page tables are normally at SDRAM_START + 0x4000, so the
flattened devicetree gets overwritten once it exceeds 0x3f00 bytes
which is quite common.
Revert this patch for now once a better solution can be found
This reverts commit 0c4108f917.

In some cases, the address of the devicetree, which is obtained
dynamically, may be located in the kernel text area, which leads
to overwrite devicetree by kernel. The patch uses the address for
devicetree, provided by board, if it possible.

Hi Sascha,
I've made the changes you suggested in this resent patch.
Everything related to custom ATAGs has been moved to the board
directory.
The generic code does not make any references to feature lists or
bootloader versions.
About the setup_feature_list prototype:
it has been renamed to atag_appender
it's not a function, it's a pointer to a function. Can it have a
prototype other than it's own declaration?
All non-related changes has been dropped. They were checkpatch.pl
warnings unrelated to this patch.
Regards,
Vicente.

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 shrinks the resulting binary size by ~25%. Exceptions
are still handled in arm mode, so we have to explicitely
put .arm directives into the exception code. Thumb-2 mode
has been tested on i.MX51 Babbage board.

arch_number is currently exported to the environment but not read back
on boot time which is rather confusing. system_rev and system_serial
are not exported to the environment but can be set in board specific
code.
This patch exports all these variables to the environment and reads them
back on boot time. All variables get a armlinux_ prefix, so the
arch_number environment variable gets renamed.

We want to use the memory banks later in the MMU which is
independent of Linux, so move this to a location which is

Also, make the memory bank list global and add an iterator
