In case of devboards we really often disable bootloader and load
Linux image in memory via JTAG. In case of using kernel with
CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT enabled we may crash as we will try to
interpret some junk in a registers as a pointers to bootargs/etc
which aren't set by anyone in case of JTAG using.
Try to make it much less possible by check magic number and
'U-boot - kernel' ABI revision number passed from U-boot.
Ignore U-boot arguments if we got wrong magic number or unknown
ABI revision.
