r8 is used for global_data and should therefore be left alone!
For C code the compiler flag --fixed-r8 does the job, but in assembler
we need to be aware of that fact.

In case we are still at relocation target address before relocation we
do not need to load the registers needed for relocation. We should
instead skip the whole relocation part and jump over to clear_bss
immediately.

This patch uses r1 as scratch register for copy_loop(). Therefore we do
not longer need r7 for the storage of relocate_code()'s 'addr_moni' (the
destination address of relocation).
Therefore r7 can be used later on for other purposes.

For ARM systems, before ELF relocation was introduced,
CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT coul be used to prevent *COPYING* the
U-Boot image from whereever it was loaded to it's link address
(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE). The name was badly chosen, as no relocation
was performed at all, it was just a memcpy().
With ELF relocation, this does not work like that any more, and
related boards need to be fixed anyway. So don't keep this relict any
longer.

When this define was introduced, the idea was to provide a soft
migration path for ARM boards to get adapted to the new relocation
support. However, other recent changes led to a different
implementation (ELF relocation), where this no longer works. By now
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC does not only not help any more, but it
actually hurts because it obfuscates the actual code by sprinkling it
with lots of dead and non-working debris.
So let's make a clean cut and drop CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC.

For the "fixloop" implementation in start.S a number of different
instructions was used. Unify code so all architectures use "blo"
here because it is more robust in case of incorrect alignments.

CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE has always been just a bad workarond for not
being able to use "sizeof(struct global_data)" in assembler files.
Recent experience has shown that manual synchronization is not
reliable enough. This patch renames CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE into
GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE which gets automatically generated by the
asm-offsets tool. In the result, all definitions of this value can be
deleted from the board config files. We have to make sure that all
files that reference such data include the new <asm-offsets.h> file.
No other changes have been done yet, but it is obvious that similar
changes / simplifications can be done for other, related macro
definitions as well.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.
Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

Generalized misuse of ble within relocation and bss
initialization loops caused one iteration too many.
Instead of ble ('branch if lower or equal'), use
blo ('branch if lower').
While we're at it, fix all 'addreee' typos.

The ARM ABI requires that the stack be aligned to 8 bytes as it is noted
in Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042d/index.html
Unaligned SP also causes the problem with variable-length arrays
allocation when VLA address becomes less than stack pointer during
aligning of this address, so the next 'push' in the stack overwrites
first 4 bytes of VLA.

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).
Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

- remove all references to CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL for ARM based boards
- introduce two new configuration options instead:
CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
Reset monitor size back to 256 so environment can be written
to flash on MPC85xx ADS and CDS releases.
* Patch by Paolo Broggini, 02 Sep 2004:
Make BSS clearing on ARM systems more robust
* Patch by Yue Hu and Joe, 01 Sep 2004:
- add PCI support for ixp425;
- add EEPRO100 suppor tfor ixdp425 board.
* Fix problem with protected sector detection in driver/cfi_flash.c
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.
Move most of the timer interrupt related PPC code to ppc_lib/interrupts.c
* Patch by Anders Larsen, 17 Sep 2003:
Bring ARM memory layout in sync with the documentation:
stack and malloc-heap are now located _below_ the U-Boot code
- 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)
