[RFC] imx21ads nand boot

Hi all,

I tried getting barebox MX21ADS to boot from NAND, but I can't get it to work.

Booting in bootstrap mode (copying the barebox image to RAM, and then
executing it from RAM) does work, and "nand_boot_test" copies the nand
image correctly to RAM.

Any clues, anyone ?
