Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Changes for v2:
- Rebased against changes made to patch #3
- Removed extra indent
- Tweaked commit message
The inline assembler is ugly and uses hard coded magic numbers. Make it more
elegant to allow cleaner implementation of future GDT related patches. The
compiler seems smart enough to generate the same code anyway
--
Changes for v2:
- Rebased against revised patch #3
- Use GDT size define instead of magic number
- Added commit message
There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
...

Rewrite interrupt handling functionality for the i386 port. Separated
functionality into separate CPU and Architecture components.
It appears as if the i386 interrupt handler functionality was intended
to allow multiple handlers to be installed for a given interrupt.
Unfortunately, this functionality was not fully implemented and also
had the problem that irq_free_handler() does not allow the passing
of the handler function pointer and therefore could never be used to
free specific handlers that had been installed for a given IRQ.
There were also various issues with array bounds not being fully
tested.
I had two objectives in mind for the new implementation:
1) Keep the implementation as similar as possible to existing
implementations. To that end, I have used the leon2/3
implementations as the reference
2) Seperate CPU and Architecture specific elements. All specific i386
interrupt functionality is now in cpu/i386/ with the high level
API and architecture specific code in lib_i386. Functionality
specific to the PC/AT architecture (i.e. cascaded i8259 PICs) has
been further split out into an individual file to allow for the
implementation of the PIC architecture of the SC520 CPU (supports
more IRQs)

Moved from interrupts.c to cpu.c and made into a weak function to
allow vendor specific override
Vendor specific CPU reset (like the AMD SC520 MMCR reset) can now be
added to the vendor specific code without the need to remember to
#undef usage of the generic method and if you forget to include your
custom reset method, you will always get the default.
