Newer Linux kernels can overrun the initial memory window used for
booting with their BSS area. When this happens, they overwrite the FDT
and silently fail to boot.
On e300 CPUs, the Linux kernel uses an initial BAT covering the first
256MB of RAM. See arch/powerpc/kernel/head_32.S for details. Increase
the value of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ to accommodate the maximum value
allowed by Linux. This will allow very large kernels to boot.

This patch removes the completely unused CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
feature from U-Boot. It has only been implemented for PPC4xx and was not
used at all. So let's remove it and make the code smaller and cleaner.

This patch provides support for MPC8308RDB development board from
Freescale with a minimal set of features:
Dual UART is supported
NOR flash is supported
Both TSEC Ethernet controllers are supported
PCI Express initialization is supported
The following features are enabled in configuration but not fully tested:
I2C (used to get the board revision)
I2C-connected RTC
VSC7385 switch
There is one (hopefully) minor issue: on soft reset the board sometimes
resets twice. I've not managed to find the fix for this problem yet.
As a workaround instruction cache can be disabled.
