Until now, ubldr has been trying to locate the U-Boot API using a hint
address (U-Boot's current stack pointer), aligning it to 1MiB and going
over a 3MiB (or 1MiB in case of MIPS) memory region searching for a
valid API signature.
This change introduces an alternative way of doing this, namely the
following:
- both U-Boot's bootelf and go commands actually pass argc and argv to
the entry point (e.g., ubldr's start function, but they should also
be passed over to main() transparently)
- so, instead of trying to go and look for a valid API signature, we
look at the parameters passed to main()
- if there's an option '-a' with argument, which is a valid hexadecimal
unsigned long number (x), we try to verify whether we have a valid
API signature at address x. If so - we use it. If not - we fallback
to the original way of locating the API signature.
The U-Boot change, which causes the API structure address to be
exported as an environment variable, was committed to mainline U-Boot
as commit 22aa61f707574dd569296f521fcfc46a05f51c48

the boot loader should not skip over these anymore while loading images.
Otherwise the kernel can still panic when it doesn't find the .eh_frame
section belonging to the .rela.eh_frame section.
Unfortunately this will require installing boot loaders from sys/boot
before attempting to boot with a new kernel.

(32 and 64-bit, LE and BE).
The changes were tested with QEMU's 'mips' target.
Most of the implementation was lifted from the ARM version, the appropriate
MIPS-specific things were implemented.
With these changes I am able to go all the way through the u-boot->ubldr->kernel
boot chain in QEMU on all combinations of bit-ness and endian-ness.
For the tests I've used FAT32 disk images (as FAT32 is supported by U-boot),
which include /boot/kernel/kernel and /boot/kernel/ubldr.bin
In U-boot I do:
fatload ide 0 <LOAD_ADDR> /boot/kernel/ubldr.bin; go <LOAD_ADDR>
where LOAD_ADDR is 80800000 for 32-bit and ffffffff80800000 for 64-bit
Then it's the usual ubldr that takes over and loads and starts a kernel.

The changes are mostly dealing with removing unnecessary casts from the U-Boot
API (we're passing only pointers, no obvious reason to cast them to uint32_t),
cleaning up some compiler warnings and using the proper printf format
specifiers in order to be able to compile cleanly for both 32-bit and 64-bit
MIPS targets.

Now if you have a dhcp server available you can easily net-boot a u-boot

two variables in the u-boot env:

to forego dhcp and set more vars (ipaddr, netmask, serverip, rootpath).

It now prefers to boot from partitions that are present on the underlying

from the partitions on device the user chose from EFI boot menu in
preference to those on other devices.
Also fixed is the recovery from a failed attempt to boot, from a seemingly
valid partition, by continuing to trying all other available partitions
no matter what the error.
