44c6e6591c rename _end to __bss_end__
Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section.  We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

ee0270dff7 PowerPC, nand_spl: Add relocation support for -fpic
By rearranging the linker script we get support for
relocation of -fpic for free.
Move __got2_entries outside _GOT2_TABLE_ defining scope
matching the rest of PowerPC

f62fb99941 Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections
A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script.  Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.

However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering.  The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file.  This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.

This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified.  Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)

I change this to:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))

This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

5bb907a492 mpc83xx: New board support for SIMPC8313
This patch will create a new board, SIMPC8313, from Sheldon Instruments.  This
board boots from NAND devices and is configureable for either large or small
page devices.  The board supports non-soldered DDR2, one ethernet port, a
Marvell 88E1118 PHY, and PCI host support.  The board also has a FPGA connected
to the eLBC providing glue logic to a TMS320C67xx DSP.
