Since the reset vector is always aligned to a very large boundary, we
can save a couple of KB worth of alignment padding by placing the
exception vectors at the same address.
Deciding which one it is is easy: If we're handling an exception, the
CPU is in Exception mode. If we're starting up after reset, the CPU is
in Supervisor mode. So this adds a very minimal overhead to the reset
path (only executed once) and the exception handling path (normally
never executed at all.)

Relocate the u-boot image into SDRAM like everyone else does. This
means that we can handle much larger .data and .bss than we used to.

Split the avr32 initialization code into a function to run before
relocation, board_init_f and a function to run after relocation,
board_init_r. For now, board_init_f simply calls board_init_r
at the end.

Patch by Haavard Skinnemoen, 06 Sep 2006
This patch adds support for the AT32AP CPU family and the AT32AP7000
chip, which is the first chip implementing the AVR32 architecture.
The AT32AP CPU core is a high-performance implementation featuring a
7-stage pipeline, separate instruction- and data caches, and a MMU.
For more information, please see the "AVR32 AP Technical Reference":
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf
In addition to this, the AT32AP7000 chip comes with a large set of
integrated peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 series
of ARM-based microcontrollers from Atmel. Full data sheet is
available here:
