This is a re-submission of the patch by Harald Welte
<laforge@openmoko.org> with minor modifications for rebase and changes
as suggested by Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> [1] [2].
This patch enables the environment partition to have a run-time dynamic
location (offset) in the NAND flash. The reason for this is simply that
all NAND flashes have factory-default bad blocks, and a fixed compile
time offset would mean that sometimes the environment partition would
live inside factory bad blocks. Since the number of factory default
blocks can be quite high (easily 1.3MBytes in current standard
components), it is not economic to keep that many spare blocks inside
the environment partition.
With this patch and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB enabled, the location of the
environment partition is stored in the out-of-band (OOB) data of the
first block in flash. Since the first block is where most systems boot
from, the vendors guarantee that the first block is not a factory
default block.
This patch introduces the 'nand env.oob' command, which can be called
from the u-boot command line. 'nand env.oob get' reads the address of
the environment partition from the OOB data, 'nand env.oob set
{offset,partition-name}' allows the setting of the marker by specifying
a numeric offset or a partition name.

Instead of defining the flags sevaral times in different source files
(which is error prone), move them to a central place in a header file.

Some boards have fallen out of sync by defining CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED
manually. While it is useful to have this available to the build system,
let's do it automatically rather than forcing people to opt into it.

Shove a lot of the HOSTCC and related #ifdef checking crap into the new
compiler.h header so that we can keep all other headers nice and clean.
Also introduce custom uswap functions so we don't have to rely on the non
standard implementations that a host may (or may not in the case of OS X)
provide. This allows mkimage to finally build cleanly on an OS X system.

Mflash is fusion memory device mainly targeted consumer eletronic and
mobile phone.
Internally, it have nand flash and other hardware logics and supports
some different operation (ATA, IO, XIP) modes.
IO mode is custom mode for the host that doesn't have IDE interface.
(Many mobile targeted SoC doesn't have IDE bus)
This driver support mflash IO mode.
Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
1. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read
confirm, write confirm)
2. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.

The envcrc.c does sizeof(unsigned long) when calculating the crc, but
this is done with the build toolchain instead of the target tool
chain, so if the build is a 64bit system but the target is 32bits,
the size will obviously be wrong. This converts all unsigned long
stuff related to crc32 to uint32_t types. Compile tested only: output
of ./tools/envcrc when run on a 32bit build system matches that of a
64bit build system.

The current NAND Bootloader setup forces the environment
variables to be in line with the bootloader. This change
enables the configuration to be made in the board include
file instead so that it can be individually enabled.
