unfortunately this patch breaks compatibility with older v2.4
kernels. bd_t struct passed to the kernel has different offsets
of the fields after bi_ip_addr. As a result older powerpc kernels
setup wrong bus clock configurations and serial console
baudrate. If the kernel still boots somehow, mounting nfs rootfs
doesn't seem to work, etc. We need to fix the offsets at least.

Thanks,
Anatolij
