Currently OneNAND initial program loader (ipl) reads only block 0 ie 128KB.
However, u-boot image for apollon board is 195KB making the board
unbootable with OneNAND.
Fix ipl to read CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN.
CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN macro holds the U-Boot image size.

OneNAND IPL has common codes for RAM init, load data, and jump to 2nd
bootloader, but it's common code used about 300~400 bytes. So board
specific codes, such as lowlevel_init, can't has enough code. It make
a difficult to implement OneNAND IPL.
his patch make this common code as small as possible. and give
lowlevel_init can have more codes.

A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.

Flex-OneNAND is a monolithic integrated circuit with a NAND Flash array
using a NOR Flash interface. This on-chip integration enables system designers
to reduce external system logic and use high-density NAND Flash
in applications that would otherwise have to use more NOR components.
Flex-OneNAND enables users to configure to partition it into SLC and MLC areas
in more flexible way. While MLC area of Flex-OneNAND can be used to store data
that require low reliability and high density, SLC area of Flex-OneNAND
to store data that need high reliability and high performance. Flex-OneNAND
can let users take advantage of storing these two different types of data
into one chip, which is making Flex-OneNAND more cost- and space-effective.

This patch enables the OneNAND boot within U-Boot.
Before this work, we used another OneNAND IPL called X-Loader based
on open source. With this work, we can build the oneboot.bin image
without other program.
The build sequence is simple.
First, it compiles the u-boot.bin
Second, it compiles OneNAND IPL
Finally, it becomes the oneboot.bin from OneNAND IPL and u-boot.bin
The mechanism is similar with NAND boot except it boots from itself.
Another thing is that you can only use the OneNAND IPL only to work
other bootloader such as RedBoot and so on.
