As of today, the proposal of adding "acpi_rsdp_addr" to the kernel
boot protocol does not make its way to the kernel mainline. This
creates some confusion if we leave it in the U-Boot code base.
Remove it for now until we have a clear picture with kernel upstream.
Note this eventually does a partial revert to commit 3469bf4274
("x86: zImage: Propagate acpi_rsdp_addr to kernel via boot parameters")

This changes 'struct e820entry' to 'struct e820_entry' to conform
with the coding style.

On x86 platforms, U-Boot does not pass Device Tree data to the kernel.
This prevents the kernel from using FDT loaded by U-Boot.
Read the working FDT address from the "fdtaddr" environment variable
and add a copy of the FDT data to the kernel setup_data list.

New field acpi_rsdp_addr, which has been introduced in boot protocol
v2.14 [1], in boot parameters tells kernel the exact address of RDSP
ACPI table. Knowing it increases robustness of the kernel by avoiding
in some cases traversal through a part of physical memory.
It will slightly reduce boot time by the same reason.

2f74cbf ("x86/boot: Add the ACPI RSDP address to struct setup_header::acpi_rdsp_addr")

Booting Linux kernel v4.7+ does not work since Linux kernel commit 974f221c
"x86/boot: Move compressed kernel to the end of the decompression buffer".
This patch adds the latest version of the setup_header struct, adding
"init_size" which is needed since this commit referenced above. With this
patch, booting Linux v4.8-rc8 does work again on x86 boards.

Add support for newer (up to 2.6.33) kernels
Add zboot command which takes the address of a bzImage as its first
argument and (optionally) the size of the bzImage as the second argument
(the second argument is needed for older kernels which do not include
the bzImage size in the header)
