This generic $bootcmd, and associated support macros, automatically searches a defined set of storage devices (or network protocols) for an extlinux configuration file or U-Boot boot script in various standardized locations. Distros that install such a boot config file/script in those standard locations will get easy-to-set-up booting on HW that enables this generic $bootcmd.
Boards can define the set of devices from which boot is attempted, and the order in which they are attempted. Users may later customize this set/order by edting $boot_targets.
Users may interrupt the boot process and boot from a specific device simply by executing e.g.:
$ run bootcmd_mmc1 or: $ run bootcmd_pxe
This patch was originally written by Dennis Gilmore based on Tegra and rpi_b boot scripts. I have made the following modifications since then:
Boards must define the BOOT_TARGET_DEVICES macro in order to specify the set of devices (and order) from which to attempt boot. If needed, we can define a default directly in config_distro_bootcmd.h.
Removed $env_import and related variables; nothing used them, and I think it's better for boards to pre-load an environment customization file using CONFIG_PREBOOT if they need.
Renamed a bunch of variables to suit my whims:-)

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
