Great stuff, thanks a lot! This is committed in r4401 with some minor
changes.

I dropped all "(C) Uwe Hermann", pretty much all these files are trivial
and/or generic, no need to carry over any (C) lines.

I changed this part a bit, this may be nested a bit too much, but maybe
I'm wrong, not sure. Either way, the version which is in svn now worked
for me on the MS-6178 board, please try a plain svn checkout (r4401) and
see if onboard VGA works (better) on your board.

Changed this to the generic "../payload.elf" we try to use
everywhere now (but there may be more changes wrt to this
when we move to kconfig for v2).
