Platforms with flat device tree support can use a bootmap to relocate
the fdt_blob. This is not a must. That's why the relocation function
boot_relocate_fdt() should be use only if CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT was defined
together with CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ (see common/cmd_bootm.c).
On MicroBlaze platforms there is no need to use a bootmap to relocate
a fdt blob. So we need a more precise focus on the compilation and usage
of boot_relocate_fdt().
In general it is valid to exclude the function boot_relocate_fdt() if
the bootmap size CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is not defined.

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
...

This avoids a possible overwrite of the (end of) ramdisk by u-boot.
The unused memory region for ppc boot currently starts 1k below the
do_bootm->bootm_start->arch_lmb_reserve stack ptr. This isn't enough since
do_bootm->do_bootm_linux->boot_relocate_fdt calls printf which may
very well use more than 1k stack space.

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.
