Subject: [PATCH 5/5] arm: boot: store ATAGs structure into DT "/chosen/linux,atags" entry

Legacy bootloaders can pass additional information for kernel or legacy
userspace applications. When booting DT kernel then ATAGs structure is not
more visible after running kernel uncompress code. This patch stores full
ATAGs structure into DT "/chosen/linux,atags" entry, so kernel can later
reuse it and export via /proc/atags to userspace.
