Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
On PPC44x platforms, the startup message generated in "cpu.c" only
comprised the ppc type and revision but not additional informations
like speed etc. Those speed infos where printed in the board specific
code. This new implementation now prints all CPU infos in the common
cpu specific code. No board specific code is needed anymore and
therefore removed from all current 44x implementations.
