This patch adds a new ATAG_BORADINFO to U-Boot. This tag is intended to hand
over the bd->bi_board_number to the linux kernel for early stage board
information like a board revision or other kind of board specific decisions
necessary before the linux peripherial drivers are up.

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section. We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

By now, the majority of architectures have working relocation
support, so the few remaining architectures have become exceptions.
To make this more obvious, we make working relocation now the default
case, and flag the remaining cases with CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC.

fixup_cmdtable() did all work for fixing up the cmdtable,
if CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS is not defined.
CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS is missing for i386! I talked
with Graeme Russ, and he will fix this soon.
Portions of this work were supported by funding from
the CE Linux Forum.

Use the MMU hardware to set up 1:1 mappings between physical and virtual
addresses. This allows us to bypass the cache when accessing the flash
without having to do any physical-to-virtual address mapping in the CFI
driver.
The virtual memory mappings are defined at compile time through a sorted
array of virtual memory range objects. When a TLB miss exception
happens, the exception handler does a binary search through the array
until it finds a matching entry and loads it into the TLB. The u-boot
image itself is covered by a fixed TLB entry which is never replaced.
This makes the 'saveenv' command work again on ATNGW100 and other boards
using the CFI driver, hopefully without breaking any rules.

While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
...

Currently the U-Boot address ranges for AVR32 boards are
printed like this:
"U-Boot code: (null) -> 0001183c data: 000188e8 -> 0004e9b0"
This patch fixes this to print:
"U-Boot code: 00000000 -> 0001183c data: 000188f8 -> 0004e9c0"

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.
