Show firmware provided stackpointer during boot.
This helps to find the "taboo" areas on the various boards. claim tends to
fail for these memory areas, but some jokers return success anyway.
Use %p to print the load address, its a pointer.

To prove that the relocation works, move the crt0.o away from the beginning.
Move linker options from command line into linker script. rename entry point
because '_start' is referenced in printf output.

Make the zImage relocateable. So yaboot could just load and run any ELF
binary, without worrying about its load address.

Use memset to clear bss, instead of own version.

Make the bootheader for ppc64 independent from kernel and libc headers.
* add -nostdinc -isystem $gccincludes to not include libc headers
* declare all functions in header files, also the stuff from string.S
* declare some functions static
* use stddef.h to get size_t (hopefully ok)
* remove ppc32-types.h, only elf.h used the __NN types
With further modifications by Paul Mackerras and Stephen Rothwell.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
