Yinghai Lu ee92d81502 x86, boot: Support loading bzImage, boot_params and ramdisk above 4G
xloadflags bit 1 indicates that we can load the kernel and all data
structures above 4G; it is set if kernel is relocatable and 64bit.

bootloader will check if xloadflags bit 1 is set to decide if
it could load ramdisk and kernel high above 4G.

bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size for high 32bits
when it load ramdisk above 4G.
kernel use get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get
right positon for ramdisk.

Yinghai Lu f1da834cd9 x86, boot: Add get_cmd_line_ptr()
Add an accessor function for the command line address.
Later we will add support for holding a 64-bit address via ext_cmd_line_ptr.

Gokul Caushik bd448d4d0a x86, boot: Exclude cmdline.c if you can't use it
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is the only feature that might use command line
parsing in the decompression stage.  If it is disabled then we can
exclude the related code to save space. This can result in an estimated
space savings of 2240 bytes from the compressed kernel image.

Yinghai Lu 8fee13a48e x86, setup: enable early console output from the decompressor
This enables the decompressor output to be seen on the serial console.
Most of the code is shared with the regular boot code.

We could add printf to the decompressor if needed, but currently there
is no sufficiently compelling user.

-v2: define BOOT_BOOT_H to avoid include boot.h
-v3: early_serial_base need to be static in misc.c ?
-v4: create seperate string.c printf.c cmdline.c early_serial_console.c
     after hpa's patch that allow global variables in compressed/misc stage
-v5: remove printf.c related
