Rui Miguel Silva bfef72e4dd cmd: load: add load command for memory mapped
cp.b is used a lot as a way to load binaries to memory and execute
them, however we may need to integrate this with the efi subsystem to
set it up as a bootdev.

So, introduce a loadm command that will be consistent with the other
loadX commands and will call the efi API's.

ex: loadm $kernel_addr $kernel_addr_r $kernel_size

with this a kernel with CONFIG_EFI_STUB enabled will be loaded and
then subsequently booted with bootefi command.

loadm command
=============
Synopsis
--------
::
loadm <src_addr> <dst_addr> <len>
Description
-----------
The loadm command is used to copy memory content from source address
to destination address and, if efi is enabled, will setup a "Mem" efi
boot device.
The number of transferred bytes must be set by bytes parameter
src_addr
start address of the memory location to be loaded
dst_addr
destination address of the byte stream to be loaded
len
number of bytes to be copied in hexadecimal. Can not be 0 (zero).
Example
-------
::
=> loadm ${kernel_addr} ${kernel_addr_r} ${kernel_size}
loaded bin to memory: size: 12582912
Configuration
-------------
The command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_LOADM=y.
Return value
------------
The return value $? is set 0 (true) if the loading is succefull, and
is set to 1 (false) in case of error.
