8d61625d6a x86: Put global data on the stack
Putting global data on the stack simplifies the init process (and makes it
slightly quicker). During the 'flash' stage of the init sequence, global
data is in the CAR stack. After SDRAM is initialised, global data is copied
from CAR to the SDRAM stack

9e6c572ff0 x86: Use fs for global data
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

f48dd6fc6c x86: Simplify Flash-to-RAM code execution transition
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

a206cc2343 x86: Add multiboot header
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

fa82f871c8 Convert ISO-8859 files to UTF-8
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.
