390f852bd1 arm:cleanup remove special case memory handling.
We used to load the memory driver above the other modules to allow
the memory driver (ramdisk) to grow. We no longer want or need this
this as we have a working mmc driver.

5acaa0814f kernel, ramdisk: some boot unification
To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.

This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.

	. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
	  from the shell
	. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
	  boot-time ramdisk files
	. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
	  we're running on from sysenv
	. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
	  i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
	. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
	  i386 systems
	. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
	  driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
	. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
	  SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
	  releasetools/
