This patch adds a reg.h to the zImage code, with common definitions
for accessing system registers. For now, this includes functions for
retrieving the PVR and the stack pointer. This patch then uses the
new reg.h to let start() display the running stack address without
having to explicitly pass the stack as a parameter from the asm code.

Add a macro fatal that calls printf then exit. User must include stdio.h.
Typically replaces 3 lines with 1, although I added back some whitespace.

This patch re-organises the way the zImage wrapper code is entered, to
allow more flexibility on platforms with unusual entry conditions.
After this patch, a platform .o file has two options:
1) It can define a _zimage_start, in which case the platform code gets
control from the very beginning of execution. In this case the
platform code is responsible for relocating the zImage if necessary,
clearing the BSS, performing any platform specific initialization, and
finally calling start() to load and enter the kernel.
2) It can define platform_init(). In this case the generic crt0.S
handles initial entry, and calls platform_init() before calling
start(). The signature of platform_init() is changed, however, to
take up to 5 parameters (in r3..r7) as they come from the platform's
initial loader, instead of a fixed set of parameters based on OF's
usage.
When using the generic crt0.S, the platform .o can optionally
supply a custom stack to use, using the BSS_STACK() macro. If this
is not supplied, the crt0.S will assume that the loader has
supplied a usable stack.
In either case, the platform code communicates information to the
generic code (specifically, a PROM pointer for OF systems, and/or an
initrd image address supplied by the bootloader) via a global
structure "loader_info".
In addition the wrapper script is rearranged to ensure that the
platform .o is always linked first. This means that platforms where
the zImage entry point is at a fixed address or offset, rather than
being encoded in the binary header can be supported using option (1).

This patch rewrites prep_kernel() in the zImage wrapper code to be
clearer and more flexible. Notable changes:
- Handling of the initrd image from prep_kernel() has moved
into a new prep_initrd() function.
- The address of the initrd image is now added as device tree
properties, as the kernel expects.
- We only copy a packaged initrd image to a new location if it
is in danger of being clobbered when the kernel moves to its final
location, instead of always.
- By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0,
instead of requiring it to relocate itself. Platforms (such as OF)
where doing this could clobber still-live firmware data structures can
override the vmlinux_alloc hook to provide an alternate place to
decompress the kernel.
- We no longer pass lots of information between functions in
global variables.

This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling
logic in the zImage wrapper.
First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for
producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack()
which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr()
which retreived the address of the final blob. Since they were only
ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new
callback, dt_ops.finalize(). This new callback does whatever
platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device
tree blob, and returns the blob's addres.
Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if
one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel
with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree
itself. This approach precludes the possibility of the platform
wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever
platform-specific information firmware provides. Thus, this patch
takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat
tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means).
So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function
which returns NULL. In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes
that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.

More reorganization of the bootwrapper:
- Add dtb section to zImage
- ft_init now called by platform_init
- Pack a flat dt before calling kernel
- Remove size parameter from free
- printf only calls console_ops.write it its not NULL
- Some cleanup

This abstracts the operations used in the bootwrapper, and defines
the operations needed for the bootwrapper to run on an OF platform.
The operations have been divided up into platform ops (platform_ops),
firmware ops (fw_ops), device tree ops (dt_ops), and console ops
(console_ops).
The proper operations will be hooked up at runtime to provide the
functionality that you need.
