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.

Change all linker scripts to reference the changed driver name 4xx_uart.o.
Note: In most cased all these explicit referencing of these object files
in the linker scripts is not neccessary. Only for manually embedded
environment into the U-Boot image, which is not done is most cases.

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
- Allow to call sysmon function interactively
- PIC on LWMON board needs delay after power-on
- Add missing RSR definitions for MPC8xx
- Improve log buffer handling: guarantee clean reset after power-on
- Add support for EXBITGEN board
- Add support for SL8245 board
