Move this from the README to rST format.
Drop i2cfast since it is obviously obsolete and breaks the formatting.
Other changes and improvements are in a following patch.

-Environment Variables:
-==
-
-U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
-can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
-
-Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
-"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
-without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
-environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
-working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
-environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
-
-Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
-
-List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
-
- baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
-
- bootdelay- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
-
- bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
-
- bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
-
- bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
-
- bootm_low- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
- command can be restricted. This variable is given as
- a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
- for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
- environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
- also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
- kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
- bootm_mapsize.
-
- bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
- This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
- defines the size of the memory region starting at base
- address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
- during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
- as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
- used otherwise.
-
- bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
- command can be restricted. This variable is given as
- a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
- allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
- environment variable.
-
- bootstopkeysha256, bootdelaykey, bootstopkey - See README.autoboot
-
- updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
- by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
- documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
-
- autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
- "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
- configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
- load any image using TFTP
-
- autostart- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
- "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
- be automatically started (by internally calling
- "bootm")
-
- If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
- "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
- (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
- This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
- data.
-
- fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
- flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
- For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
- at physical address 0x1000, while Linux kernel
- only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
- may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C00 to have the
- device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
- of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
- access it during the boot procedure.
-
- If this is set to the special value 0x then
- the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
- to work it must reside in writa
