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
The inline assembler is ugly and uses hard coded magic numbers. Make it more
elegant to allow cleaner implementation of future GDT related patches. The
compiler seems smart enough to generate the same code anyway
--
Changes for v2:
- Rebased against revised patch #3
- Use GDT size define instead of magic number
- Added commit message
Also approximate the size of RAM using the largest RAM address available
in the tables. There may be areas which are marked as reserved which are
actually at the end of RAM.

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.

Add a target for running u-boot as a coreboot payload in boards.cfg, a
board, CPU and a config. This is a skeleton implementation which always
reports the size of memory as 64 MB.

By adding a multiboot header, U-Boot can be loaded by GRUB2. Using GRUB2 to
bootstrap U-Boot is useful for using an existing BIOS to get an initial
U-Boot port up and running before implementing the low-level reset vector
code, SDRAM init, etc. and overwriting the BIOS

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.

Partial linking allows weak functions to be overridden in files containing
only one function. Moving the sc520 override of reset_cpu gets rid of an
ugly #ifdef
