From: Lihua Zhao <lihua.zhao at windriver.com>
Enhance do_bootm_vxworks() to support Linux compatible standard DTB
for ARM and PPC, when the least significant bit of flags in VxWorks
bootargs is set. Otherwise it falls back to the existing bootm flow
which is now legacy.

VxWorks Support

This section will describe the new interface.
