Get rid of the SRIOBOOT_MASTER build target, and to support for serving as
a SRIO boot master via environment variable. Set the environment variable
"bootmaster" to "SRIO1" or "SRIO2" using the following command:
setenv bootmaster SRIO1
saveenv
The "bootmaster" will enable the function of the SRIO boot master, and
this has the following advantages compared with SRIOBOOT_MASTER build
configuration:
1. Reduce a build configuration item in boards.cfg file.
No longer need to build a special image for master, just use a
normal target image and set the "bootmaster" variable.
2. No longer need to rebuild an image when change the SRIO port for
boot from SRIO, just set the corresponding value to "bootmaster"
based on the using SRIO port.

When boot from SRIO, slave's core can be in holdoff after powered on for
some specific requirements. Master can release the slave's core at the
right time by SRIO interface.
Master needs to:
1. Set outbound SRIO windows in order to configure slave's registers
for the core's releasing.
2. Check the SRIO port status when release slave core, if no errors,
will implement the process of the slave core's releasing.
Slave needs to:
1. Set all the cores in holdoff by RCW.
2. Be powered on before master's boot.

For the powerpc processors with SRIO interface, boot location can be configured
from SRIO1 or SRIO2 by RCW. The processor booting from SRIO can do without flash
for u-boot image. The image can be fetched from another processor's memory
space by SRIO link connected between them.
The processor boots from SRIO is slave, the processor boots from normal flash
memory space and can help slave to boot from its memory space is master.
They are different environments and requirements:
master:
1. NOR flash for its own u-boot image, ucode and ENV space.
2. Slave's u-boot image in master NOR flash.
3. Normally boot from local NOR flash.
4. Configure SRIO switch system if needed.
slave:
1. Just has EEPROM for RCW. No flash for u-boot image, ucode and ENV.
2. Boot location should be set to SRIO1 or SRIO2 by RCW.
3. RCW should configure the SerDes, SRIO interfaces correctly.
4. Slave must be powered on after master's boot.
For the master module, need to finish these processes:
1. Initialize the SRIO port and address space.
2. Set inbound SRIO windows covered slave's u-boot image stored in
master's NOR flash.
3. Master's u-boot image should be generated specifically by
make xxxx_SRIOBOOT_MASTER_config
4. Master must boot first, and then slave can be powered on.
