In many cases, pointers to memory are passed around, and these pointers
refer to U-Boot memory, not host memory. This in itself is not a
problem.
However, in a few places, we cast that pointer back to a ulong (being
a U-Boot memory address). It is possible to convert many of these cases
to avoid this. However there are data structures (e.g. struct
bootm_headers) which use pointers. We could with a lot of effort adjust
the structs and all code that uses them to use ulong instead of pointers.
This seems like an unacceptable cost, since our objective with sandbox
is to minimise the impact on U-Boot code while maximising the features
available to sandbox.
Therefore, create a map_to_sysmem() function which converts from a
pointer to a U-Boot address. This can be used sparingly when needed.

We create a separate header file for link symbols defined by the link
scripts. It is helpful to have these all in one place and try to
make them common across architectures. Since Linux already has a similar
file, we bring this in even though many of the symbols there are not
relevant to us.
Each architecture has its own asm/sections.h where symbols specifc to
that architecture can be added. For now everything except AVR32 just
includes the generic header.
One change is needed in arch/avr32/lib/board.c to make this conversion
work.

Sandbox doesn't actually provide U-Boot access to the machine's physical
memory. Instead it provides a RAM buffer of configurable size, and all
memory accesses are within that buffer. Sandbox memory starts at 0 and
is CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE bytes in size. Allowing access outside this buffer
might produce unpredictable results in the event of an error, and would
expose the host machine's memory architecture to the sandbox U-Boot.
Most U-Boot functions assume that they can just access memory at given
address. For sandbox this is not true.
Add a map_sysmem() call which converts a U-Boot address to a system
address. In most cases this is a NOP, but for sandbox it returns a
pointer to that memory inside the RAM buffer.
To get a U-Boot feature to work correctly within sandbox, you should call
map_sysmem() to get a pointer to the address, and then use that address for
any U-Boot memory accesses.

We plan to move architecture-specific data into a separate structure so
that we can make the rest of it common.
As a first step, create struct arch_global_data to hold these fields.
Initially it is empty.
This patch applies to all archs at once. I can split it if this is really
a pain.

All the global flag defines are the same across all arches. So unify them
in one place, and add a simple way for arches to extend for their needs.

This field gets read in one place (by "bdinfo"), and we can replace
that with getenv("ipaddr"). After all, the bi_ip_addr field is kept
up-to-date implicitly with the value of the ipaddr env var.

This adds simple command-line parsing to sandbox. The idea is that it
sets up the state with options provided, and this state can then be
queried later, as needed.
New flags are declared with the SB_CMDLINE_OPT_SHORT helper macro,
pointers are automatically gathered up in a special section, and
then the core code takes care of gathering them up and processing
at runtime. This way there is no central place where we have to
store a list of flags with ifdefs.

In order to pass command line arguments to sandbox we need to be able
to act on them. So take control back at the end of board_init_r() from
where we can call the main loop or do something else.

The state exists through the life of U-Boot. It can be adjusted by command
line options and perhaps later through a config file. It is available to
U-Boot through state_...() calls (within sandbox code).
The primary purpose of this is to contain the "hardware" state. It should
only be used by sandbox internal code.
