Since commit 50a47d0523e8efebe912bef539a77ffd42116451 (net: punt bd->bi_ip_addr) booting old 2.4.x ppc kernels is broken due to changed offsets of the fields in struct bd_t. Offsets of the fields after removed bi_ip_addr are wrong, causing wrong bus clocks and console baudrate configurations and various other issues. Re-add the bi_ip_addr field to preserve backward compatibility with older ppc kernels. Setting bi_ip_addr in board.c is not really needed, grepping in the 2.4 linux tree shows that bi_ip_addr is not accessed there. Adding bi_ip_addr to struct bd_t for other arches isn't needed it seems. bd_t is not used by other arches in the 2.4 linux tree.
