64134f0112 Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sections
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.

  add nand flash support to SXNI855T configuration
  fix/extend nand flash support:
  - fix 'nand erase' command so does not erase bad blocks
  - fix 'nand write' command so does not write to bad blocks
  - fix nand_probe() so handles no flash detected properly
  - add doc/README.nand
  - add .jffs2 and .oob options to nand read/write
  - add 'nand bad' command to list bad blocks
  - add 'clean' option to 'nand erase' to write JFFS2 clean markers
  - make NAND read/write faster
