We have previously added logic to allow a "fallback" option to be
specified in the extlinux configuration. Provide a command that allows
us to set this as the preferred default option when booting.
Combined with the bootcount functionality, this allows the "altbootcmd"
to provide a means of falling back to a previously known good state
after a failed update. For example, if "bootcmd" is set to:
bootflow scan -lb
We would set "altbootcmd" to:
bootmeth set extlinux fallback 1; bootflow scan -lb
Causing the boot process to boot from the fallback option.

This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot.
To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with
#define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS
Steps to test:
1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen
in the boot loader prompt using
UBOOT #help
zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system
zfsls - list files in a directory (default /)
2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute
zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file]
For example:
UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/
3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute
zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
For example:
UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage
