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.

- more documentation for NIOS port
- new struct nios_pio_t, struct nios_spi_t
- Reconfiguration for NIOS Development Kit DK1C20:
o move board related code from board/dk1c20
to board/altera/dk1c20
o create a new common source path board/altera/common
and move generic flash access stuff into it
o change/expand configuration file DK1C20.h
- Add support for NIOS Development Kit DK1S10
- Add status LED support for NIOS systems
- Add dual 7-segment LED support for Altera NIOS DevKits
