Log:
  MFC r316374, r316377:
  
  Preserve the registers containing argc, argv, and return address values
  passed in from u-boot across the call to self_reloc and any other early-init
  code, and restore them before calling main().
  
  Correct a comment... the stack used by ubldr is the same stack u-boot was
  running on when it jumped to the ubldr entry point.  None of the arches
  that use this code set up a different stack in their start.S routines.
