  U-boot provides a set of interfaces for creating and using simple, text
  based menus. Menus are displayed as lists of labeled entries on the
  console, and an entry can be selected by entering its label.
  
  To use the menu code, enable CONFIG_MENU, and include "menu.h" where
  the interfaces should be available.
  
  Menus are composed of items. Each item has a key used to identify it in
  the menu, and an opaque pointer to data controlled by the consumer.

  If you want to show a menu, instead starting the shell, define
  CONFIG_MENU_SHOW. You have to code the int menu_show(int bootdelay)
  function, which handle your menu. This function returns the remaining
  bootdelay.

  Example Code
  ------------
  This example creates a menu that always prompts, and allows the user
  to pick from a list of tools.  The item key and data are the same.
  
  #include "menu.h"
  
  char *tools[] = {
  	"Hammer",
  	"Screwdriver",
  	"Nail gun",
  	NULL
  };
  
  char *pick_a_tool(void)
  {
  	struct menu *m;
  	int i;
  	char *tool = NULL;
b41bc5a82   Jason Hobbs   common, menu: use...

  	m = menu_create("Tools", 0, 1, NULL);

  	for(i = 0; tools[i]; i++) {
  		if (menu_item_add(m, tools[i], tools[i]) != 1) {
  			printf("failed to add item!");
  			menu_destroy(m);
  			return NULL;
