instead the board will have to load it from flash or ram
which will be specified by npe_ucode env var

Hi,
the following patch adds support to move the IXP42X NPE firmware to a
separate flash block, whose start address is defined in
CONFIG_IXP4XX_NPE_EXT_UCODE_BASE. Using that, it is possible to build
NPE-enabled u-boot without copyright problems due to the NPE firmware.
I hope the patch applies, I get whitespace-related differences in the NPE
files due to trailing whitespace in the original versions.

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.
- Add IXP4xx NPE ethernet MAC support
- Add support for Intel IXDPG425 board
- Add support for Prodrive PDNB3 board
- Add IRQ support

[This patch does not include cpu/ixp/npe/IxNpeMicrocode.c which still
sufferes from licensing issues. Blame Intel.]
