ext_ramdisk_image/size will record high 32bits for ramdisk info.
xloadflags bit0 will be set if relocatable with 64bit.
Let get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get
right positon for ramdisk.
bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size when it load
ramdisk above 4G.
Also bootloader will check if xloadflags bit0 is set to decicde if
it could load ramdisk high above 4G.
xloadflags bit15 is used for bootloader to notify kernel if new added
ext_* in boot_params could be used or not.
Update header version to 2.12.
-v2: add ext_cmd_line_ptr for above 4G support.
-v3: update to xloadflags from HPA.
-v4: use fields from bootparam instead setup_header accoring to HPA.
-v5: add checking for USE_EXT_BOOT_PARAMS
