So I've got am335x working again locally and now I'm trying to see if we
need to introduce a SoC-specific board_init_f for SPL here or not or if
I can shove save_omap_boot_params() into spl_board_init() and add
preloader_console_init rather generically to the ARM board_init_f SPL
function.  Once I've got this clean enough I need to dust off some
davinci and omap3 targets, do similar changes and then see if Hans was
right about why my olimex Allwinner board was behaving badly, and if so,
test the changes there too.  That'll cover most of the ARM boards that
re-set gd themselves when they can't with the above change
re-introduced.
