bootvx: x86: Prepare e820 related stuff from the given kernel memory base address
At present two environment variables 'e820data'/'e820info' are required
to boot a VxWorks x86 kernel, but this is superfluous. The offset of
these two tables are actually at a fixed offset from the kernel memory
base address and we can provide the kernel memory base address to U-Boot
via only one variable 'vx_phys_mem_base'.
Note as it name indicates, the physical address should be provided.

x86-specific information
------------------------
-Before loading an x86 kernel, two additional environment variables need to be
-provided. They are "e820data" and "e820info", which represent the address of
-E820 table and E820 information (defined by VxWorks) in system memory.

+base address of VxWorks.
-Check VxWorks kernel configuration to look for BIOS_E820_DATA_START and
-BIOS_E820_INFO_START, and assign their values to "e820data" and "e820info"
-accordingly. If neither of these two are supplied, U-Boot assumes a default
-location at 0x4000 for "e820data" and 0x4a00 for "e820info". Typical values
-for "e820data" and "e820info" are 0x104000 and 0x104a00. But there is one
-exception on Intel Galileo, where "e820data" and "e820info" should be left
-unset, which assume the default location for VxWorks.
+Check VxWorks kernel configuration to look for LOCAL_MEM_LOCAL_ADRS. For
+VxWorks 7, this is normally a virtual address and you need find out its
+corresponding physical address and assign its value to "vx_phys_mem_base".
For boards on which ACPI is not supported by U-Boot yet, VxWorks kernel must
be configured to use MP table and virtual wire interrupt mode. This requires
