With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]
For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.
The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

Change all linker scripts to reference the changed driver name 4xx_uart.o.
Note: In most cased all these explicit referencing of these object files
in the linker scripts is not neccessary. Only for manually embedded
environment into the U-Boot image, which is not done is most cases.

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.
before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
add FAT support for IDE, SCSI and USB
* Patches by Gleb Natapov, 2 Sep 2003:
- cleanup of POST code for unsupported architectures
- MPC824x locks way0 of data cache for use as initial RAM;
this patch unlocks it after relocation to RAM and invalidates
the locked entries.
* Patch by Gleb Natapov, 30 Aug 2003:
new I2C driver for mpc107 bridge. Now works from flash.
* Patch by Dave Ellis, 11 Aug 2003:
- JFFS2: fix typo in common/cmd_jffs2.c
- JFFS2: fix CFG_JFFS2_SORT_FRAGMENTS option
- JFFS2: remove node version 0 warning
- JFFS2: accept JFFS2 PADDING nodes
- SXNI855T: add AM29LV800 support
- SXNI855T: move environment from EEPROM to flash
- SXNI855T: boot from JFFS2 in NOR or NAND flash
* Patch by Bill Hargen, 11 Aug 2003:
fixes for I2C on MPC8240
- fix i2c_write routine
- fix iprobe command
- eliminates use of global variables, plus dead code, cleanup.
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
* Patch by Murray Jensen, 24 Jun 2003:
- make sure to use only U-boot provided header files
- fix problems with ".rodata.str1.4" section as used by GCC-3.x
