Add a special command to load and start a bzImage on x86
Other architectures are supporting the uImage format used by barebox's 'bootm' command. x86 does'nt. So, we need a special command to be able to boot the x86 specific bzImage format. Signed-off-by: Juergen Beisert <jbe@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
