Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Changes for v2:
- Rebased against changes made to patch #3
- Removed extra indent
- Tweaked commit message
This commit introduces no functional changes - It simply re-arranges the
calculations so that adding to them in future commits will be cleaner
--
Changes for v2:
- Fixed typo in title
- Added commit message
Move the relocation offset calculation out of assembler and into C. This
also paves the way for the upcoming init sequence simplification by adding
the board_init_f_r flash to RAM transitional function
--
Changes for v2:
- Added commit message
- Minor adjustment to new stack address comment
The implementations of memcpy and memset are now the optimised versions
from glibc, so use them instead of simple copy loops
--
Changes for v2:
- Removed unneeded brackets
This change adds an upper bound for symbols which are fixed up after u-boot
is relocated into RAM. This way portions that are left at their original
location can be referred to without having to manually fix up any pointers.

This is long over due. All but two net drivers have been converted, but
those have now been dropped.
The only thing left to do is actually delete all references to NET_MULTI
and code that is compiled when that is not defined. So here we scrub the
core code.

There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.

This patch removes the architecture specific implementation of
version_string where possible. Some architectures use a special place
and therefore we provide U_BOOT_VERSION_STRING definition and a common
weak symbol version_string.
