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.

NS9750 DevBoard added
* Patch by Pierre AUBERT, 24 Feb 2004
add USB support for MPC5200
* Patch by Steven Scholz, 24 Feb 2004:
- fix MII commands to use values from last command
* Patch by Torsten Demke, 24 Feb 2004:
Add support for the eXalion platform (SPSW-8240, F-30, F-300)
ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.
Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.
- 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)
- minimal setup for CardBus bridges
- add EEPROM read/write support in the CS8900 driver
- add support for the builtin I2C controller in the Samsung s3c24x0 chips
- add support for MPL's VCMA9 (Samsung s3c2410 based) board
* Patch by Steven Scholz, 04 Feb 2003:
add support for RTC DS1307
* Patch by Reinhard Meyer, 5 Feb 2003:
