在宏定义中  #是转化为字符串的意思
下面这句的意思是设置该结构体段属性为.u_boot_cmd
cmd_tbl_t __u_boot_cmd_bootm __attribute__ ((unused,section (".u_boot_cmd"))) 
因此只要是定义为  U_BOOT_CMD 类型的结构体都将被强制转化为 段的属性为  .u_boot_cmd     该属性在链接脚本中定义了
因此在find_cmd中能够使用 
for (cmdtp = &__u_boot_cmd_start;
	     cmdtp != &__u_boot_cmd_end;
	     cmdtp++)
按照结构体的形式将命令挨个找出来
