Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Changes for v2:
- Rebased against changes made to patch #3
- Removed extra indent
- Tweaked commit message
Move the relocation offset calculation out of assembler and into C. This
also paves the way for the upcoming init sequence simplification by adding
the board_init_f_r flash to RAM transitional function

Changes for v2:
- Added commit message
- Minor adjustment to new stack address comment
If vboot successfully verifies a kernel, it will leave it in place and
basically ready to boot. The zeropage table which is part of the x86 boot
protocol is at the end of the kernel, though, instead of the beginning, and
because the image is already in place there's no need to copy it around.
This change refactors the code which implements the zboot command so that
the configuration of the zeropage table and loading the pieces of the
kernel into memory are done separately. Also, because the command line goes
before the zeropage table in vboot which is somewhat incompatible with the
normal protocol, where to put the command line is a now a parameter instead
of being hard coded.

This change conditionally modifies the zboot command so that it can use the
32 bit boot protocol. This is necessary because the 16 bit realmode entry
point assumes that it can call BIOS services which neither coreboot nor
u-boot provide.

This change cleans up some formatting issues in the zimage handling code, and
converts it from using offsets added to a base pointer to using the available
structure definitions which were already being included.

This change also forces the lib_sysinfo structure to be in the .data
section. Otherwise it ends up in the .bss section. U-boot assumes that it
doesn't need to copy it over during relocation, and instead fills that
whole section with zeroes. If we really were booting from ROM that would be
appropriate, but we need some information from the coreboot tables (memory
size) before then and have to fill that structure before relocation. We
skirt u-boot's assumption by putting this in .data where it assumes there
is still read only but non-zero data.

The new implementation is about twice as fast as the old. This is from
glibc-2.14, sysdeps/i386/memset.c.

This pushes the ugly duplicated arch ifdef lists we maintain in various
image related files out to the arch headers themselves.

Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a
temporary buffer.
To enable this functionality, the board (or arch) must define:
- CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer
- CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer
- CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)
The pre-console buffer will buffer the last CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes
Any earlier characters are silently dropped.
There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.
