We currently assume that the global data pointer is at the start of
struct global_data. We want to remove this restriction, and it is
easiest to do this in C.
Remove the asm code and add equivalent code in C.

These were removed, but actually are useful.
Cold means that we started from a reset/power on.
Warm means that we started from another U-Boot.
We determine whether u-boot on x86 was warm or cold booted (really if
it started at the beginning of the text segment or at the ELF entry point).
We plumb the result through to the global data structure.

Putting global data on the stack simplifies the init process (and makes it
slightly quicker). During the 'flash' stage of the init sequence, global
data is in the CAR stack. After SDRAM is initialised, global data is copied
from CAR to the SDRAM stack

Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Changes for v2:
- Rebased against changes made to patch #3
- Removed extra indent
- Tweaked commit message
Move the relocation offset calculation out of assembler and into C. This
also paves the way for the upcoming init sequence simplification by adding
the board_init_f_r flash to RAM transitional function

Changes for v2:
- Added commit message
- Minor adjustment to new stack address comment
By adding a multiboot header, U-Boot can be loaded by GRUB2. Using GRUB2 to
bootstrap U-Boot is useful for using an existing BIOS to get an initial
U-Boot port up and running before implementing the low-level reset vector
code, SDRAM init, etc. and overwriting the BIOS

There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.
