[U-Boot] [PATCH 06/13] Blackfin: fix crash when booting from external memory

When testing a u-boot binary that hasn't been booted from the bootrom, we
have to make sure the bootstruct structure has sane storage space.  If we
don't, the initcode will crash when it tries to dereference an invalid
pointer.
