[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/2] linux/compat.h: port lower_32_bits and upper_32_bits from Linux

[Lijun Pan]

[backport from linux commit 204b885e and 218e180e7]
64 bit processors are becomming more and more popular.
lower_32_bits and upper_32_bits save our labor doing
shifts/manipulations like (u32)(n) and (u32)((n) >> 32).
They are good helpers in both little and big endian cases.
Port these two functions here from Linux:include/linux/kernel.h,
cater the comment message to little/big endian cases.
Later on, developers could include linux/compat.h if they want to
use these two functions.

v4: split v3 into 2 patches.
v3: change the comment message for lower_32_bits() and upper_32_bits()
    change the commit message to argue the necessity of this patch.
v2: add git SHA of linux kernel tree.
