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.

The AMCC Luan now uses the common 440SP(e) DDR SPD code for DDR
inititializition. This includes DDR auto calibration and support
for different DIMM modules, instead of the fixed setup used in
the earlier version.
This patch also enables the cache in FLASH for the startup
phase of U-Boot (while running from FLASH). After relocating to
SDRAM the cache is disabled again. This will speed up the boot
process, especially the SDRAM setup, since there are some loops
for memory testing (auto calibration).
