Knowing the address of the end of the memory area used by Barebox is
useful if PBL stores some extra data after it, so that board init code
can later retrieve it from there.

On Raspberry Pi, VideoCore firmware creates a device tree that contains
information about peripherals that were initialized by VideoCore based
on settings in config.txt. Normally this device tree is passed to the
Linux kernel via a pointer in the r2 register. A bootloader needs to
pass this device tree to the kernel, or some peripherals will not work
correctly.
Since the VideoCore device tree is not compatible with barebox, we can't
just pass it to barebox_arm_entry() as the internal barebox device tree.
This commit makes the prebootloader code copy the device tree from
VideoCore into a scrap RAM area just above the area reserved for the
bootloader. Board initialization code in the bootloader proper then
copies it into a file /vc.dtb. The bootloader environment is then free
to pass this file to the kernel at boot (e.g. via bootm -o).

When booting a Raspberry Pi, it is useful to extract bootargs from the
device tree that was created by the VideoCore firmware. These bootargs
contain for example settings for the framebuffer that the kernel needs
to properly set the video output.
This commit extracts the bootargs in the board initialization code and
saves them to the vc.bootargs global variable.
For example, a bootloader environment can then add the contents of this
variable to linux.bootargs.vc, which then gets included into the final
bootargs for the kernel using CONFIG_FLEXIBLE_BOOTARGS.

+VideoCore device tree also contains the kernel command-line that is constructed from ``cmdline.txt`` and other parameters internally determined by the VideoCore firmware. Normally in Barebox this command-line gets overwritten on boot by the Linux bootargs (see :ref:`booting_linux`).

+The original command-line from VideoCore device tree is available to the Barebox environment in the ``vc.bootargs`` global variable. For example, to append it to the Linux bootargs::
