The MPC8536E is capable of booting from the on-chip ROM - boot from
eSDHC and boot from eSPI. When power on, the porcessor excutes the
ROM code to initialize the eSPI/eSDHC controller, and loads the mian
U-Boot image from the memory device that interfaced to the controller,
such as the SDCard or SPI EEPROM, to the target memory, e.g. SDRAM or
L2SRAM, then boot from it.
The memory device should contain a specific data structure with control
word and config word at the fixed address. The config word direct the
process how to config the memory device, and the control word direct
the processor where to find the image on the memory device, or where
copy the main image to. The user can use any method to store the data
structure to the memory device, only if store it on the assigned address.
The on-chip ROM code will map the whole 4GB address space by setting
entry0 in the TLB1, so the main image need to switch to Address space 1
to disable this mapping and map the address space again.
This patch implements loading the mian U-Boot image into L2SRAM, so
the image can configure the system memory by using SPD EEPROM.

MPC8536E can support booting from NAND flash which uses the
image u-boot-nand.bin. This image contains two parts: a 4K
NAND loader and a main U-Boot image. The former is appended
to the latter to produce u-boot-nand.bin. The 4K NAND loader
includes the corresponding nand_spl directory, along with the
code twisted by CONFIG_NAND_SPL. The main U-Boot image just
like a general U-Boot image except the parts that included by
CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT.
When power on, eLBC will automatically load from bank 0 the
4K NAND loader into the FCM buffer RAM where CPU can execute
the boot code directly. In the first stage, the NAND loader
copies itself to RAM or L2SRAM to free up the FCM buffer RAM,
then loads the main image from NAND flash to RAM or L2SRAM
and boot from it.
This patch implements the NAND loader to load the main image
into L2SRAM, so the main image can configure the RAM by using
SPD EEPROM. In the first stage, the NAND loader copies itself
to the second to last 4K address space, and uses the last 4K
address space as the initial RAM for stack.
Obviously, the size of L2SRAM shouldn't be less than the size
of the image used. If so, the workaround is to generate another
image that includes the code to configure the RAM by SPD and
load it to L2SRAM first, then relocate the main image to RAM
to boot up.

Some board ports place TEXT_BASE at a location that would cause the
RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS not to be at 0xfffffffc when we link. By default
we assume RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS will be 0xfffffffc if the board doesn't
explicitly set it.

For historic reasons we had defined some additional PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS
like:
PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_E500=1
PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_MPC85xx=1
PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_MPC8548=1
However these are all captured in the config.h and thus redudant.
