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 also adds a note to the fixed DDR setup for Bamboo NAND booting:
Note:
As found out by Eugene O'Brien <eugene.obrien@advantechamt.com>, the fixed
DDR setup has problems (U-Boot crashes randomly upon TFTP), when the DIMM
modules are still plugged in. So it is recommended to remove the DIMM
modules while using the NAND booting code with the fixed SDRAM setup!

Bamboo has a file sdram.c which needs special treatment when building in
separate directory. It has to be linked to build directory otherwise it is
not seen.

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.
