We have switched to Kconfig and the boards.cfg file is going to
be removed. We have to retrieve the board status and maintainers
information from it.
The MAINTAINERS format as in Linux Kernel would be nice
because we can crib the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.
After some discussion, we chose to put a MAINTAINERS file under each
board directory, not the top-level one because we want to collect
relevant information for a board into a single place.
TODO:
Modify get_maintainer.pl to scan multiple MAINTAINERS files.

This commit adds:
- arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
provide a menu to select target boards
- board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
- configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
default setting of each board
(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)
In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.

Many (but not all) of Blackfin boards give -O2 option
to compile under lib/ directory.
That means lib/ should be speed-optimized,
whereas other parts should be size-optimized.
We want to keep the same behavior,
but do not want to parse board/*/config.mk again and again.
We've got no choice but to invent a new method.
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_LIBS_FOR_SPEED, if it is enabled,
gives -O2 flag only for building under lib/ directory.
Dirty codes which I had marked as "FIX ME"
in board/${BOARD}/config.mk have been deleted.
Instead, CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_LIBS_FOR_SPEED has been
defined in include/configs/${BOARD}.h.

Now we are ready to switch over to real Kbuild.
This commit disables temporary scripts:
scripts/{Makefile.build.tmp, Makefile.host.tmp}
and enables real Kbuild scripts:
scripts/{Makefile.build,Makefile.host,Makefile.lib}.
This switch is triggered by the line in scripts/Kbuild.include
-build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build.tmp obj
+build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build obj
We need to adjust some build scripts for U-Boot.
But smaller amount of modification is preferable.
Additionally, we need to fix compiler flags which are
locally added or removed.
In Kbuild, it is not allowed to change CFLAGS locally.
Instead, ccflags-y, asflags-y, cppflags-y,
CFLAGS_$(basetarget).o, CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o
are prepared for that purpose.
