Extend PXE support at more platforms
Currently Linaro only validates and support PXE at u-boot-linaro at Pandaboard. Check which other platforms could also deliver ethernet support at u-boot, and make sure PXE is working properly with them.

Whiteboard
[dzin Sept 28, 2011] This has not moved for a while so moving to backlog.
[dzin, apr 10, 2012] move out of backlog to 12.06
[jcrigby, 19 Apr 2012] Most of not all of this BP is done but somehow we lost track of it or it was implemented in another BP after we move to monthly BPs.
[rsalveti, Jun 11, 2012] Not a priority anymore (most platforms are not supported by our team), so moving to backlog again.
Meta:
Headline: U-Boot-Linaro now delivers PXE support for additional platforms, like IGEPv2, Overo, Vexpress and iMX53.
Acceptance: With each supported board, check if u-boot-linaro delivers PXE support by booting the board over PXE/TFTP.
