We have switched to Kconfig and the boards.cfg file is going to
be removed. We have to retrieve the board status and maintainers
information from it.
The MAINTAINERS format as in Linux Kernel would be nice
because we can crib the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.
After some discussion, we chose to put a MAINTAINERS file under each
board directory, not the top-level one because we want to collect
relevant information for a board into a single place.
TODO:
Modify get_maintainer.pl to scan multiple MAINTAINERS files.

This commit adds:
- arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
provide a menu to select target boards
- board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
- configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
default setting of each board
(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)
In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.

We only need u-boot to bother about a single core in the QEMU machine.
Everything that would require additional knowledge of more cores gets
handled by QEMU and passed straight into the payload we execute.
Because of this setup, it would be counterproductive to enable SMP support
in u-boot. We would have to rip CPUs out of already existing spin tables
and respin them from u-boot. It would be a pretty big mess.
So only assume we have a single core. This fixes errors about CONFIG_MP
being disabled.

For KVM we have a special PV machine type called "ppce500". This machine
is inspired by the MPC8544DS board, but implements a lot less features
than that one.
It also provides more PCI slots and is supposed to be enumerated by
device tree only.
This patch adds support for the generic ppce500 machine and tries to
rely solely on device tree for device enumeration.
