For some time there have been repeated reports about build problems
with some ARM (cross) tool chains. Especially issues about
(in)compatibility with the tool chain provided runtime support
library libgcc.a caused to add and support a private implementation
of such runtime support code in U-Boot. A closer look at the code
indicated that some of these issues are actually home-made. This
patch attempts to clean up some of the most obvious problems and make
building of U-Boot with different tool chains easier:
- Even though all ARM systems basicy used the same compiler options
to select a specific ABI from the tool chain, the code for this was
distributed over all cpu/*/config.mk files. We move this one level
up into lib_arm/config.mk instead.
- So far, we only checked if "-mapcs-32" was supported by the tool
chain; if yes, this was used, if not, "-mabi=apcs-gnu" was
selected, no matter if the tool chain actually understood this
option. There was no support for EABI conformant tool chains.
This patch implements the following logic:
1) If the tool chain supports
"-mabi=aapcs-linux -mno-thumb-interwork"
we use these options (EABI conformant tool chain).
2) Otherwise, we check first if
"-mapcs-32"
is supported, and then check for
"-mabi=apcs-gnu"
If one test succeeds, we use the first found option.
3) In case 2), we also test if "-mno-thumb-interwork", and use
this if the test succeeds. [For "-mabi=aapcs-linux" we set
"-mno-thumb-interwork" mandatorily.]
This way we use a similar logic for the compile options as the
Linux kernel does.
- Some EABI conformant tool chains cause external references to
utility functions like raise(); such functions are provided in the
new file lib_arm/eabi_compat.c
Note that lib_arm/config.mk gets parsed several times, so we must
make sure to add eabi_compat.o only once to the linker list.

all arm boards except a few use the same cpu linker script
so move it to cpu/$(CPU)
that could be overwrite in following order
SOC
BOARD
via the corresponding config.mk

actually the timer init use the interrupt_init as init callback
which make the interrupt and timer implementation difficult to follow
so now rename it as int timer_init(void) and use interrupt_init for interrupt
btw also remane the corresponding file to the functionnality implemented
as ixp arch implement two timer - one based on interrupt - so all the timer
related code is moved to timer.c

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).
Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

Modify the RTC API to provide one a status for the time reported by
the rtc_get() function:
0 - a reliable time is guaranteed,
< 0 - a reliable time isn't guaranteed (power fault, clock issues,
and so on).
The RTC chip drivers are responsible for providing this info if the
corresponding chip supports such functionality. If not - always
report that the time is reliable.
The POST RTC test was modified to detect the RTC faults utilizing
this new rtc_get() feature.

Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
Correct addessing errors in platform files.
Split off common core module data from Integrator header files to
include/armcoremodule.h.
