x86, boot: Support loading bzImage, boot_params and ramdisk above 4G

Browse Source 
xloadflags bit 1 indicates that we can load the kernel and all data
structures above 4G; it is set if kernel is relocatable and 64bit.

bootloader will check if xloadflags bit 1 is set to decide if
it could load ramdisk and kernel high above 4G.

bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size for high 32bits
when it load ramdisk above 4G.
kernel use get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get
right positon for ramdisk.
