There are a plethora of bd_info's in the kernel tree. I think that
u-boot is probably the most common,
but the u-boot one is huge and full of cruft.
There are also likely to be any number for board/loader combinations
that are not in the kernel.
I have cut an pasted ours below - not that I am trying to sell it.
But I would prefer that if there is a bd_info struct that it be defined
by the board not virtex.h or virtex.c.
//Information passed to program when it is executed.
typedef struct _BOARD_INFO
{uint32_t bi_signature; // 0x00 valid bi signature
uint32_t bi_memMax; // 0x04 DRAM installed, maximum byte
address
uint32_t bi_intfreq; // 0x08 Processor speed, in Hz
uint32_t bi_busfreq; // 0x0C PLB Bus speed, in Hz
uint32_t bi_version; // 0x10 local pico number format #.##,
eg 3.09
uint8_t *bi_cmdline; // 0x14
uint32_t bi_capabilities; // 0x18 Pico capabilities mask
uint32_t bi_debug; // 0x1C Pico flags mask
uint32_t bi_flashstart; // 0x20 start of FLASH memory
uint32_t bi_flashsize; // 0x24 size of FLASH memory
uint32_t bi_envSize; // 0x28 environment size
uint8_t bi_enetaddr[6]; // 0x2C Local Ethernet MAC address
uint16_t bi_cflags; // 0x32 console flags
char *bi_envP; // 0x34 pointer to environment string
uint32_t bi_model; // 0x38 0x0E16'FX', (ie 0x0E164658) etc
uint32_t bi_resv; // 0x38 reserved
} BOARD_INFO; // 0x40
