64134f0112 Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sections
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.

f6e20fc6ca Patch by Anders Larsen, 09 Jan 2004:
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.
