Though nios2-generic board meant to be a template, it is helpful
to be able to test on a real hardware. As the nios2 linux is
developed and tested on a 3c120 FPGA based Golden Hardware Reference
Design, it makes sense to rebase nios2-generic on this FPGA design.

This driver may handle multiple PIO cores and thus needs to be
setup by calling the altera_pio_init() function within the early
board setup routine.
The driver comes with some extras, see below the copyleft header.

This patch enables the altera_spi and spi_flash drivers for the
nios2-generic board. It allows access to the EPCS/SPI flash on
the Altera EP1C20 board.

This is a generic approach to port u-boot for nios2 boards.
You may find the usage of this approach on the nioswiki,
http://nioswiki.com/DasUBoot
A fpga parameter file, which contains base address information
and drivers declaration, is generated from Altera's hardware system
description sopc file using tools.
The example fpga parameter file is compatible with EP1C20, EP1S10
and EP1S40 boards. So these boards can be removed after this commit.
Though epcs controller is removed to cut the dependency of altera_spi
driver.
