This patch moves towards reducing board.c to simply a set of init cores for
the three initialisation phases (Flash, Flash/RAM, and RAM), a set of three
init function arrays and a init function array processing function
When gcc compiles some 64 bit operations on a 32 bit machine, it generates
calls to small functions instead of instructions which do the job directly.
Those functions are defined in libgcc and transparently provide whatever
functionality was necessary. Unfortunately, u-boot can be built with a
non-standard ABI when libgcc isn't. More specifically, u-boot uses
-mregparm. When the u-boot and libgcc are linked together, very confusing
bugs can crop up, for instance seemingly normal integer division or modulus
getting the wrong answer or even raising a spurious divide by zero
exception.
This change borrows (steals) a technique and some code from coreboot which
solves this problem by creating wrappers which translate the calling
convention when calling the functions in libgcc. Unfortunately that means
that these instructions which had already been turned into functions have
even more overhead, but more importantly it makes them work properly.
To find all of the functions that needed wrapping, u-boot was compiled
without linking in libgcc. All the symbols the linker complained were
undefined were presumed to be the symbols that are needed from libgcc.
These were a subset of the symbols covered by the coreboot code, so it was
used unmodified.
To prevent symbols which are provided by libgcc but not currently wrapped
(or even known about) from being silently linked against by code generated
by libgcc, a new copy of libgcc is created where all the symbols are
prefixed with __normal_. Without being purposefully wrapped, these symbols
will cause linker errors instead of silently introducing very subtle,
confusing bugs.
Another approach would be to whitelist symbols from libgcc and strip out
all the others. The problem with this approach is that it requires the
white listed symbols to be specified three times, once for objcopy, once so
the linker inserts the wrapped, and once to generate the wrapper itself,
while this implementation needs it to be listed only twice. There isn't
much tangible difference in what each approach produces, so this one was
preferred.

The new implementation is about twice as fast as the old. This is from
glibc-2.14, sysdeps/i386/memset.c.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.

Rewrite interrupt handling functionality for the i386 port. Separated
functionality into separate CPU and Architecture components.
It appears as if the i386 interrupt handler functionality was intended
to allow multiple handlers to be installed for a given interrupt.
Unfortunately, this functionality was not fully implemented and also
had the problem that irq_free_handler() does not allow the passing
of the handler function pointer and therefore could never be used to
free specific handlers that had been installed for a given IRQ.
There were also various issues with array bounds not being fully
tested.
I had two objectives in mind for the new implementation:
1) Keep the implementation as similar as possible to existing
implementations. To that end, I have used the leon2/3
implementations as the reference
2) Seperate CPU and Architecture specific elements. All specific i386
interrupt functionality is now in cpu/i386/ with the high level
API and architecture specific code in lib_i386. Functionality
specific to the PC/AT architecture (i.e. cascaded i8259 PICs) has
been further split out into an individual file to allow for the
implementation of the PIC architecture of the SC520 CPU (supports
more IRQs)

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.

Implementation of the do_bootm_linux() and other bootm helper routines is
architecture specific code. As such it resides in lib_<arch> directories
in files named <arch>_linux.c
This patch renames those files to a more clear and accurate
lib_<arch>/bootm.c form.
List of the renamed files:
lib_arm/armlinux.c -> lib_arm/bootm.c
lib_avr32/avr32_linux.c -> lib_avr32/bootm.c
lib_blackfin/bf533_linux.c -> lib_blackfin/bootm.c
lib_i386/i386_linux.c -> lib_i386/bootm.c
lib_m68k/m68k_linux.c -> lib_m68k/bootm.c
lib_microblaze/microblaze_linux.c -> lib_microblaze/bootm.c
lib_mips/mips_linux.c -> lib_mips/bootm.c
lib_nios/nios_linux.c -> lib_nios/bootm.c
lib_nios2/nios_linux.c -> lib_nios2/bootm.c
lib_ppc/ppc_linux.c -> lib_ppc/bootm.c
lib_sh/sh_linux.c -> lib_sh/bootm.c

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
