[U-Boot] [PATCH] Avoid use of divides in print_size.

Modification of print_size to avoid use of divides and especially
long long divides. Keep the binary scale factor in terms of bit
shifts instead. This should be faster, since the previous code
gave the compiler no clues that the divides where always powers
of two, preventing optimisation.

This patch should make print_size a little faster, but perhaps
nobody cares about that too much. What it also does though is
reenable U-Boot linking for ARM with standard toolchains.
(e.g. CodeSourcery and MontaVista).
