[U-Boot] u-boot for Galileo board

[Liu, Changcheng <changcheng.liu@intel.com>]

Hi Bin,
    1) It's Galileo gen2 board.
    2) Thx for reminding me of the rom target in Makefile.
       I've got the right building process since it extract the boot section and add it to the end of image.
    3) There's one comment error in tools/ifdtool.c and correct it as below.
    4) I work on Galileo gen2 board in my free time and I'll verify the code later.

    corrent comment about x86 ROM address
    
    For 8M ROM, the start address should be 0xff800000
