Upgrading SheevaPlug's U-Boot to version 3.4.19

Marvell made a new version of U-Boot for the SheevaPlug available last
month. This version, 3.4.19, integrates SD card support and improves
support for FAT32 USB partitions (although USB support in general is
still a bit flaky).

If you want to upgrade to this new version, read here:

I tried that version some weeks ago, and I still could not manage to
load images from the only usb stick I own (8GB Datatravel from
Kingston). I tried running u-boot only from RAM.

I also tried to compile in the reiserfs support, and I did not
succeed. After some patching, I got the u-boot built, but the reiserfs
commands did not success showing or loading any of the files I had in
a reiserfs stored in a SD card.

For my use case, I have not noticed any improvement against the 3.4.16
with the SD card support someone built in, but I have quite a limited
use case.

Regards,
Lluís.
