There are a plethora of bd_info's in the kernel tree. I think that
u-boot is probably the most common,
but the u-boot one is huge and full of cruft.
There are also likely to be any number for board/loader combinations
that are not in the kernel.
I have cut an pasted ours below - not that I am trying to sell it.

But I would prefer that if there is a bd_info struct that it be defined
by the board not virtex.h or virtex.c.

 //Information passed to program when it is executed.
 typedef struct _BOARD_INFO
   {uint32_t  bi_signature;       // 0x00 valid bi signature
    uint32_t  bi_memMax;          // 0x04 DRAM installed, maximum byte
address
    uint32_t  bi_intfreq;         // 0x08 Processor speed, in Hz
    uint32_t  bi_busfreq;         // 0x0C PLB Bus speed, in Hz
    uint32_t  bi_version;         // 0x10 local pico number format #.##,
eg 3.09
    uint8_t  *bi_cmdline;         // 0x14
    uint32_t  bi_capabilities;    // 0x18 Pico capabilities mask
    uint32_t  bi_debug;           // 0x1C Pico flags mask
    uint32_t  bi_flashstart;      // 0x20 start of FLASH memory
    uint32_t  bi_flashsize;       // 0x24 size  of FLASH memory
    uint32_t  bi_envSize;         // 0x28 environment size
    uint8_t   bi_enetaddr[6];     // 0x2C Local Ethernet MAC address
    uint16_t  bi_cflags;          // 0x32 console flags
    char     *bi_envP;            // 0x34 pointer to environment string
    uint32_t  bi_model;           // 0x38 0x0E16'FX', (ie 0x0E164658) etc 
    uint32_t  bi_resv;            // 0x38 reserved
   } BOARD_INFO;                  // 0x40
