BOOT: Add "bootz" command to boot Linux zImage on ARM
This command boots Linux zImage from where the zImage is loaded to. Passing initrd and fdt is supported. Tested on i.MX28 based DENX M28EVK Tested on PXA270 based Voipac PXA270. NOTE: This currently only supports ARM, but other architectures can be easily added by defining bootz_setup().
