The libc headers on FreeBSD and likely related projects as well contain an
header file, cdefs.h which provides similiar functionality as linux/compiler.h.
It provides compiler independent defines like __weak __packed, to allow
compiling with multiple compilers which might have a different syntax for such
extension.
Since that header file is included in multiple standard headers, like stddef.h
and stdarg.h, multiple definitions of those defines will be present if both are
included. When compiling u-boot the compiler will warn about it hundreds of
times since e.g. common.h will include both files indirectly.
commit 7ea50d5284 "compiler_gcc: do not redefine
__gnu_attributes" prevented such redefinitions, but this was undone by commit
fb8ffd7cfc "compiler*.h: sync
include/linux/compiler*.h with Linux 3.16".
Add the checks back where necessary to prevent such warnings.
As the original patch this checkpatch warning is ignored:
"WARNING: Adding new packed members is to be done with care"

Copy them from Linux v3.16 tag.
My main motivation of this commit is to add compiler-clang.h.

gcc allows extensions to be non compiler specific by defining
__* macros for the attributes supported by gcc. Having a
different definition causes many warnings during the build
(cdefs.h on FreeBSD uses __attribute((__pure__)) where u-boot
uses __attribute__((pure)) for example). Do not redefine
these macros to suppress these warnings.
This patch ignores the checkpatch warning:
WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))

Add support for newer (up to 2.6.33) kernels
Add zboot command which takes the address of a bzImage as its first
argument and (optionally) the size of the bzImage as the second argument
(the second argument is needed for older kernels which do not include
the bzImage size in the header)
