Fix beaglebone boot issue with large kernel images overwriting Device Tree.
See very detailed comments inside the patch.

The original patch is being reviewed upstream and is targeting mainline U-boot
version 2014.07. This is the adaptation of the patch for 2013.07 version we use

Thank you Denys, this works great. With a new u-boot.img I could boot
any kernel that before wouldn't boot.

Cheers,
Stefan
