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.

The pxa255_idp being an old unmaintained board showed several issues:
1. CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL was still defined.
2. Neither CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION nor CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION was defined.
3. Symbol flash_addr was undeclared.
4. The boards lowlevel_init function was still called memsetup.
5. The TEXT_BASE was still 0xa3000000 rather than 0xa3080000.
6. Using -march=armv5 instead of -march=armv5te resulted in lots of
'target CPU does not support interworking' warnings on recent compilers.
7. The PXA's serial driver redefined FFUART, BTUART and STUART used as
indexes rather than the register definitions from the pxa-regs header
file. Renamed them to FFUART_INDEX, BTUART_INDEX and STUART_INDEX to
avoid any ambiguities.
8. There were several redefinition warnings concerning ICMR, OSMR3,
OSCR, OWER, OIER, RCSR and CCCR in the PXA's assembly start file.
9. The board configuration file was rather outdated.
10. The part header file defined the vendor, product and revision arrays
as unsigned chars instead of just chars in the block_dev_desc_t
structure.
