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.

if a board/$(VENDOR)/common/Makefile exists, build it.
also add the first such case, board/freescale/common/Makefile, to
handle building board-shared EEPROM, PIXIS, and MDS-PIB code, as
dictated by board configuration.
thusly get rid of alternate build dir errors such as:
FATAL: can't create /work/wd/tmp/u-boot-ppc/board/freescale/mpc8360emds/../common/pq-mds-pib.o: No such file or directory
by putting the common/ mkdir command in its proper place (the common
Makefile). Common bits from existing individual board Makefiles have
been removed.
