Standard Debian powerpc and powerpcspe systems only include hard-float
libgcc in their native compilers, which causes scary build warnings when
building U-Boot.
Debian and other PowerPC-supporting distributions used to provide libgcc
and other libraries in a "nof" (soft-float) form in the "multilib"
packages. As they were completely unused by the distribution and
therefore tended to be very buggy it was decided to save some time on
the part of the maintainers and build-servers by removing them.
Admittedly, right now the linker warnings do not indicate any problems,
as the included routines do not use any floating point at all.
The concern is that if floating-point code were ever added it might
cause hard-float code to be unexpectedly included in U-Boot without
generating a hard error. This would cause unexplained crashes or
indeterminate results at runtime.
The easiest way to resolve this is to borrow the routines that U-Boot
needs from the Linux kernel, which has the same issue.
Specifically, the routines are: _ashldi3(), _ashrdi3(), and _lshrdi3().
They were borrowed from arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S as of v2.6.38-rc5,
commit 85e2efbb1db9a18d218006706d6e4fbeb0216213, and are GPLv2+.
The Makefile framework was copied from the U-Boot ARM port.

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.

Commit 460c2ce3 "MPC5200: workaround data corruption for unaligned
local bus accesses" fixed the problem for MPC5200 only, but MPC512x is
affected as well, so apply the same fix here, too.

The MPC5200 has a nasty problem that will cause silent data corruption
when performing unaligned 16 or 32 byte accesses when reading from the
local bus - typically this affects reading from flash. The problem can
be easily shown:

This commit implements a workaround at least for the most blatant
problem: using memcpy() from NOR flash. We rename the assembler
routine into __memcpy() and provide a wrapper, which will use a
byte-wise copy loop for unaligned source or target addresses when
reading from NOR flash, and branch to the optimized __memcpy()
in all other cases, thus minimizing the performance impact.
Tested on lite5200b and TQM5200S.

This patch consolidates bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPC by
implementing a common version in arch/powerpc/lib/bootcount.c. This
code is now used by all PowerPC variants that currently have these
functions implemented.
The functions now use the proper IO-accessor functions to read/write the
values.
This code also supports two different bootcount versions:
a) Use 2 separate words (2 * 32bit) to store the bootcounter
b) Use only 1 word (2 * 16bit) to store the bootcounter
Version b) was already used by MPC5xxx.

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.
