[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] x86: Change printf to puts to avoid a buffer overflow

[Gabe Black]

printf as currently implemented in u-boot has a problem where it can
overflow an internal buffer if it prints an expanded string that's too
long. Our command lines are long enough to cause this problem. A fix
should be coming, but in the mean time this change replaces a problematic
printf with a few calls to puts that have the same effect. This may perform
slightly better because it should avoid a copy and scanning for format
specifiers. The amount of time it actually takes up is very tiny relative
to everything else so in practice that's probably irrelevant.
