[ARM] 4423/1: add ATAGS support
Examines the ATAGS pointer (r2) at boot, and interprets a nonzero value as a reference to an ATAGS structure. A suitable ATAGS structure replaces the kernel's command line. Signed-off-by: Bill Gatliff <bgat@billgatliff.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
