[PATCH V2 08/13] ARM: rpi_b: enable booting the Linux kernel

CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT allows bootm/bootz to pass a device tree to the kernel.

Set bi_boot_params to define where ATAGs will be written
(extracted from work by Oleksandr Tymoshenko <gonzo at bluezbox.com>).

Add ATAG support for bootm/bootz. Newer kernels use device tree, so this
isn't that useful. However, old kernels all use board files, so this
might still see some use.

Enable bootz command to allow booting a zImage directly.
