For some time there have been repeated reports about build problems
with some ARM (cross) tool chains. Especially issues about
(in)compatibility with the tool chain provided runtime support
library libgcc.a caused to add and support a private implementation
of such runtime support code in U-Boot. A closer look at the code
indicated that some of these issues are actually home-made. This
patch attempts to clean up some of the most obvious problems and make
building of U-Boot with different tool chains easier:
- Even though all ARM systems basicy used the same compiler options
to select a specific ABI from the tool chain, the code for this was
distributed over all cpu/*/config.mk files. We move this one level
up into lib_arm/config.mk instead.
- So far, we only checked if "-mapcs-32" was supported by the tool
chain; if yes, this was used, if not, "-mabi=apcs-gnu" was
selected, no matter if the tool chain actually understood this
option. There was no support for EABI conformant tool chains.
This patch implements the following logic:
1) If the tool chain supports
"-mabi=aapcs-linux -mno-thumb-interwork"
we use these options (EABI conformant tool chain).
2) Otherwise, we check first if
"-mapcs-32"
is supported, and then check for
"-mabi=apcs-gnu"
If one test succeeds, we use the first found option.
3) In case 2), we also test if "-mno-thumb-interwork", and use
this if the test succeeds. [For "-mabi=aapcs-linux" we set
"-mno-thumb-interwork" mandatorily.]
This way we use a similar logic for the compile options as the
Linux kernel does.
- Some EABI conformant tool chains cause external references to
utility functions like raise(); such functions are provided in the
new file lib_arm/eabi_compat.c
Note that lib_arm/config.mk gets parsed several times, so we must
make sure to add eabi_compat.o only once to the linker list.

The ARM EABI defines new names for GCC helper functions,
and GCC seems to need some new functions as well.
This patch is a minimal-invasive approach to fix problems with EABI
conformant tool chains (to be used with "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes").

Many (especially ARM) tool chains seem to come with broken or
otherwise unusable (for the purposes of builing U-Boot) run-time
support libraries `libgcc.a'. By using the "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC"
setting we allow to use alternative libraries instead.
"USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" can either be set as an environment variable in
the shell, or as a command line argument when running "make", i. e.
$ make USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
or
$ USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
$ export USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
$ make
The value of "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" is the name of the directory which
contains the alternative run-time support library `libgcc.a'. The
special value "yes" selects the directory $(OBJTREE)/lib_$(ARCH) .
Note that not all architectures provide an alternative `libgcc.a' in
their lib_$(ARCH) directories - so far, only ARM does.

This cleans up U-Boot's toplevel directory a bit and makes the
architecture 'config.mk' file naming and location similar to board

So far the console API uses the following naming convention:
======Extract======
typedef struct device_t;
int device_register (device_t * dev);
int devices_init (void);
int device_deregister(char *devname);
struct list_head* device_get_list(void);
device_t* device_get_by_name(char* name);
device_t* device_clone(device_t *dev);
=======
which is too generic and confusing.
Instead of using device_XX and device_t we change this
into stdio_XX and stdio_dev
This will also allow to add later a generic device mechanism in order
to have support for multiple devices and driver instances.

actually the timer init use the interrupt_init as init callback
which make the interrupt and timer implementation difficult to follow
so now rename it as int timer_init(void) and use interrupt_init for interrupt

This patch moves the malloc initialization before calling flash_init().
Upcoming changes to the NOR FLASH common CFI driver with optional
MTD infrastructure and MTD concatenation support will call malloc().
And nothing really speaks against enabling malloc just a little earlier
in the boot stage. Some architectures already enable malloc before
calling flash_init() so they don't need any changes here.

Add the ability to break the steps of the bootm command into several
subcommands: start, loados, ramdisk, fdt, bdt, cmdline, prep, go.
This allows us to do things like manipulate device trees before
they are passed to a booting kernel or setup memory for a secondary
core in multicore situations.
Not all OS types support all subcommands (currently only start, loados,
ramdisk, fdt, and go are supported).

DM644x is just one of a series of DaVinci chips that use the EMAC driver.
By replacing all the function names that start with dm644x_* to davinci_*
we make these function more portable. I have tested this change on my EVM.

There is no need for each OS specific function to call do_reset() we
can just do it once in bootm. This means its feasible on an error for
the OS boot function to return.
Also, remove passing in cmd_tbl_t as its not needed by the OS boot
functions. flag isn't currently used but might be in the future so
we left it alone.

If CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT is set the flag GD_FLG_RELOC is usually
never set, because relocation to RAM is actually never done by U-boot
itself. However, several pieces of code check if this flag is set at
some time.
So, to make sure this flag is set on boards skipping relocation, this
is added to the initialisation of U-boot at a moment where it is safe
to do so.

Before new uImage code was merged, bootm code allowed for the kernel image to
get overwritten during decompresion. new uImage introduced a check for image
overwrites and refused to boot the image that got overwritten. This patch
restores the old behavior. It also adds a warning when the image overwriten is
a multi-image file, because in such case accessing componentes other than the
first one will fail.
