f9bdcf050c Rework the OpenBIOS internals so that boot, load and init-program now all use the unified libopenbios loader code with improved
IEEE-1275 spec compliance.

This patch implements the following:

1) Fix bootpath/bootargs handling so that default values are read from NVRAM, and allow multiple space-separated values to be 
specified.
2) With correct bootargs handling in place, move the ELF loader over to the new libopenbios unified loaders.
3) Remove all the loader code from all architecture directories sine we don't need it anymore.
4) Simplify the boot word so it invokes platform-specific code where required, then calls load and go as per the specification.

Tested on all my available images for SPARC32, SPARC64 and PPC, and compile-tested on x86.

d4451ae216 Move the *_init_program() functions into the main loader source files so that everything is in one place. Part of this
involves taking the existing parts of the XCOFF loader and putting them into a new loader file xcoff_load.c. Also fix a 
dependency order change these changes introduce when building openbios-unix.

1264ad95d2 Create a brand new ELF loader based upon arch/*/elfload.c and libopenbios/elfload.c combined together in libopenbios. This means
that each arch no longer needs its own ELF loader implementation.
