This is a partial revert of the deletion of the IXP4xx
target: we restore the APEX boot loader so we can use it
for the NSLU2 and related targets.
The APEX upstream is as dead as it gets so I have applied
OpenWrts old patches on top of the never released
v1.6.10 version and forked it into an OpenWrt variant
on GitHub. If the upstream comes back alive I will
happily switch over to it.
The file refers to the external GitHub, I suppose when
integrating this patch the file should be copied to OpenWrts
file repository and the file link changed.

I do not like it when a package is default y. This will always activate
it by default.
Maybe should also also mark this none shared.

This will build a OpenWrt package with these files. Do you really need
these files in the root file system? I do not know how the boot process
works, this just looks strange to me.
