A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

The Hammerhead platform is built around a AVR32 32-bit microcontroller
from Atmel. It offers versatile peripherals, such as ethernet, usb
device, usb host etc.
The board also incooperates a power supply and is a Power over Ethernet
(PoE) Powered Device (PD).
Additonally, a Cyclone III FPGA from Altera is integrated on the board.
The FPGA is mapped into the 32-bit AVR memory bus. The FPGA offers two
DDR2 SDRAM interfaces, which will cover even the most exceptional need
of memory bandwidth. Together with the onboard video decoder the board
is ready for video processing.

Since the reset vector is always aligned to a very large boundary, we
can save a couple of KB worth of alignment padding by placing the
exception vectors at the same address.
Deciding which one it is is easy: If we're handling an exception, the
CPU is in Exception mode. If we're starting up after reset, the CPU is
in Supervisor mode. So this adds a very minimal overhead to the reset
path (only executed once) and the exception handling path (normally
never executed at all.)

The .flashprog section was only needed back when we were running
directly from flash, and it's even more useless on NGW100 since it
uses the CFI flash driver which never used this workaround in the
first place.
Remove it on STK1000 as well, and get rid of all the associated code and
annotations.

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.

Relocate the u-boot image into SDRAM like everyone else does. This
means that we can handle much larger .data and .bss than we used to.

Add atstk1002_config target to Makefile and move the AVR32 section
down below Blackfin so that it doesn't end up in the middle of
MIPS.
Drop the autogenerated linker script thing for now. Will have to
revisit how to handle chips with different flash and RAM layout
later.

Patch by Haavard Skinnemoen, 06 Sep 2006
This patch adds support for the ATSTK1000 with the ATSTK1002 CPU
daughterboard.
ATSTK1000 is a full-featured development board for AT32AP CPUs. It
has two ethernet ports, a high quality QVGA LCD panel, a loudspeaker,
and connectors for USART, PS/2, VGA, USB, MMC/SD cards and
CompactFlash cards. For more information, please see this page:
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools.asp?family_id=682
The ATSTK1002 is a daughterboard for the ATSTK1000 supporting the
AT32AP7000 chip.

* Patch by Steven Scholz, 29 Sep 2003:
- A second parameter for bootm overwrites the load address for
"Standalone Application" images.
- bootm sets environment variable "filesize" to the resulting
(uncompressed) data length for "Standalone Application" images
when autostart is set to "no". Now you can do something like
if bootm $fpgadata $some_free_ram ; then
fpga load 0 $some_free_ram $filesize
