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.

This patch adds NAND booting support for the AMCC Bamboo eval board.
Since the NAND-SPL boot image is limited to 4kbytes, this version
only supports the onboard 64MBytes of DDR. The DIMM modules can't be
supported, since the setup code for I2C DIMM autodetection and
configuration is too big for this NAND bootloader.

- Add support for PPC440EPx & PPC440GRx
- Add support for PPC440EP(x)/GR(x) NAND controller
in cpu/ppc4xx directory
- Add NAND boot functionality for Sequoia board,
please see doc/README.nand-boot-ppc440 for details
- This Sequoia NAND image doesn't support environment
in NAND for now. This will be added in a short while.

- Add IXP4xx NPE ethernet MAC support
- Add support for Intel IXDPG425 board
- Add support for Prodrive PDNB3 board
- Add IRQ support
Patch by Stefan Roese, 23 May 2006
[This patch does not include cpu/ixp/npe/IxNpeMicrocode.c which still
sufferes from licensing issues. Blame Intel.]
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.
