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.

Rather than defining it config.mk we can set it in config.h and remove
config.mk from several boards that don't need it.
We mimic what 4xx does and introduce CONFIG_RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS for
config.h to set.

As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.
Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.

When U-Boot is relocated from flash to RAM pointers are modified
accordingly. However, pointers initialzed with NULL values should not
be modified so that they maintain their intended NULL value. If the
BSS segment is linked at address 0 its address will not be
updated as necessary during relocation.
This is a temporary workaround. The end goal is to add support to
U-Boot to dynamically locate the BSS at an arbitrary address at
runtime. When the ability to fixup the BSS inteligently is
added, this workaround can be removed and the 85xx link script
can put the BSS at a fixed address at link time.

Some board ports place TEXT_BASE at a location that would cause the
RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS not to be at 0xfffffffc when we link. By default
we assume RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS will be 0xfffffffc if the board doesn't
explicitly set it.

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.

DDR3 interface uses hard-coded initialization rather than SPD

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.

The recent change to move the .bss outside of the image gives older
binutils (ld from eldk4.1/binutils-2.16) some headache:
ppc_85xx-ld: u-boot: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 3, need 4)
ppc_85xx-ld: final link failed: Bad value
We workaround it by being explicit about the program headers and not
assigning the .bss to a program header.

* Move to using absolute addressing always. Makes the scripts a bit more
portable and common
* Moved .bss after the end of the image. These allows us to have more
room in the resulting binary image for code and data.
* Removed .text object files that aren't really needed
* Make sure _end is 4-byte aligned as the .bss init code expects this.
(Its possible that the end of .bss isn't 4-byte aligned)

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

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.
