Provide a means by which u-boot/SPL can save parameters passed
to it by ROM code or the pre-loader.

A new function 'save_boot_params' has been defined and a default
implentation provided. Please note that we do not have a stack yet.
So, any implementation of this function should not use stack.

This is an essential feature when there no x-loader in the picture.
Thanks for posting a patch for this :)
