E820 is critical to the kernel as it provides system memory map
information. Pass it to an x86 VxWorks kernel.

So far VxWorks bootline can be contructed from various environment
variables, but when these variables do not exist we get these from
corresponding config macros. This is not helpful as it requires
rebuilding U-Boot, and to make sure these config macros take effect
we should not have these environment variables. This is a little
bit complex and confusing.
Now we change the logic to always contruct the bootline from
environments (the only single source), by adding two new variables
"bootdev" and "othbootargs", and adding some comments about network
related settings mentioning they are optional. The doc about the
bootline handling is also updated.

The next version VxWorks adopts device tree (for PowerPC and ARM) as its hardware
description mechanism. For PowerPC, the boot interface conforms to
the ePAPR standard, which is:
void (*kernel_entry)(ulong fdt_addr,
ulong r4 /* 0 */,
ulong r5 /* 0 */,
ulong r6 /* EPAPR_MAGIC */, ulong r7 /* IMA size */,
ulong r8 /* 0 */, ulong r9 /* 0 */)
For ARM, the boot interface is:
void (*kernel_entry)(void *fdt_addr)

Since the IOP480 (PPC401/3 variant from PLX) is only used on 2
boards that are not actively maintained, lets remove support
for it completely. This way the ppc4xx code will get a bit cleaner.

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
