avr32: add ATAG_BOARDINFO
The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel. This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while initializing the kernel.
