redboot load directly into flash


Hi Folks

A while back Oliver Munz contributed a patch with extends the redboot
load command. It allows load to directly load images into flash. This
is useful for targets which don't have much RAM so making it
impossible to first load the image into RAM and then tranfer it into
FLASH.

I've reworked the patch a bit and now it has been committed.

I've not been able to test loading ELF images. It seems like the
binutils im using does not generate valid ELF program headers. This
results in redboot loading the image over itself....
