The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to
RAM:
- Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section
- Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards
- Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards
Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized
pointers needed to be manually relocated.

This patch adds another build target for the AMCC Sequoia PPC440EPx
eval board. This RAM-booting version is targeted for boards without
NOR FLASH (NAND booting) which need a possibility to initially
program their NAND FLASH. Using a JTAG debugger (e.g. BDI2000/3000)
configured to setup the SDRAM, this debugger can load this RAM-
booting image to the target address in SDRAM (in this case 0x1000000)
and start it there. Then U-Boot's standard NAND commands can be
used to program the NAND FLASH (e.g. "nand write ...").
Here the commands to load and start this image from the BDI2000:
440EPX>reset halt
440EPX>load 0x1000000 /tftpboot/sequoia/u-boot.bin
440EPX>go 0x1000000
Please note that this image automatically scans for an already
initialized SDRAM TLB (detected by EPN=0). This TLB will not be
cleared. This TLB doesn't need to be TLB #0, this RAM-booting
version will detect it and preserve it. So booting via BDI2000
will work and booting with a complete different TLB init via
U-Boot works as well.

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.

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.

The cross compiler is responsible for providing the correct libraries
and the logic to find the linking libraries.

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.

Add support for Motorola MPC8266ADS board
* Patch by Kyle Harris, 19 Feb 2003:
patches for the Intel lubbock board:
memsetup.S - general cleanup (based on Robert's csb226 code)
flash.c - overhaul, actually works now
lubbock.c - fix init funcs to return proper value
* Patch by Kenneth Johansson, 26 Feb 2003:
- Fixed off by one in RFTA calculation.
- No need to abort when LDF is lower than we can program it's only
minimum timing so clamp it to what we can do.
- Takes function pointer to function for reading the spd_nvram. Usefull
for faking data or hardcode a module without the nvram.
- fix other user for above change
- fix some comments.
