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.

This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.
All transformations are of the form:
Before:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)

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.
ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.
Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.

* Patch by Thomas Lange, 14 Nov 2003:
Split dbau1x00 into dbau1000, dbau1100 and dbau1500 configs to
support all these AMD boards.
* Patch by Thomas Lange, 14 Nov 2003:
Workaround for mips au1x00 physical memory accesses (the au1x00
uses a 36 bit bus internally and cannot access physical memory
directly. Use the uncached SDRAM address instead of the physical
one.)
- Added Motorola CPU 8540/8560 support (cpu/85xx)
- Added Motorola MPC8540ADS board support (board/mpc8540ads)
- Added Motorola MPC8560ADS board support (board/mpc8560ads)
* Minor code cleanup
- fix spelling errors
- set GD_FLG_DEVINIT flag only after device function pointers
are valid
- Allow CFG_ALT_MEMTEST on systems where address zero isn't
writeable
- enable 3.rd UART (ST-UART) on PXA(XScale) CPUs
- trigger watchdog while waiting in serial driver
- allow for longer timeouts for USB mass storage devices
* Patch by Denis Peter, 11 Sep 2003:
- fix USB data pointer assignment for bulk only transfer.
- prevent to display erased directories in FAT filesystem.
* Change output format for NAND flash - make it look like for other
memory, too
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)

Unify status LED interface
instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine _at_compile_
_time_ (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image,
or in a separate flash sector.
* Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)
the HSYNC/VSYNC. Requires new CPLD code (Version 101 for Rev. 100
boards, version 153 for Rev. 200 boards).

* Patch by Kai-Uwe Blöm, 12 Mar 2003:
Cleanup & bug fixes for JFFS2 code:
- the memory mangement was broken. It caused havoc on malloc by
writing beyond the block boundaries.
- the length calculation for files was wrong, sometimes resulting
in short file reads.
- data copying now optionally takes fragment version numbers into
account, to avoid copying from older data.
See doc/README.JFFS2 for details.
- minimal setup for CardBus bridges
- add EEPROM read/write support in the CS8900 driver
- add support for the builtin I2C controller in the Samsung s3c24x0 chips
- add support for MPL's VCMA9 (Samsung s3c2410 based) board
