Patch for BeagleBone Black boot arguments



Boot arguments passed from U-Boot don't currently make it into a NetBSD
kernel.  The reason seems to be a sanity check on the address passed
from u-boot which is inappropriate for the BB Black, which has twice as
much memory as the BB.

This fixes it by doubling the acceptable address range.  With the patch
booting with `setenv bootargs root=ld0a' in the u-boot configuration allows
a generic kernel to boot without asking.
