This adds platform support code for the Ebony (440GP) evaluation
board. This includes both code in arch/powerpc/platforms/44x for
board initialization, and zImage wrapper code to correctly tweak the
flattened device tree based on information from the firmware. The
zImage supports both IBM OpenBIOS (aka "treeboot") and old versions of
uboot which don't support a flattened device tree.

This patch makes a few small cleanups to the cuboot code.
- It removes the double layered selection of images, via
cuboot-plat-y, instead having the cuboot platforms directly select a
suitable image-y (this changes the name of the final cuboot image from
plain cuImage to cuImage.<platform>).
- Factors out some code in the wrapper that's potentially
useful to platforms other than uboot.

The cuImage target will build a uImage with bootwrapper code and a device
tree. The default device tree and platform file are determined by the
kernel configuration.

The --no-gzip option can be passed to the wrapper so that the kernel
image is included uncompressed into the zImage. This is intended for
bootloaders where the zImage itself can be compressed, or where boot time
is considered more important than kernel image size.

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).

When the wrapper script is passed a dts file, it runs 'dtc' to create
a dtb file. This patch deletes that dtb file once its no longer needed.

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 puts the knowledge of how to create various sorts of zImage
wrappers into a script called "wrapper" that could be used outside of
the kernel tree. This changes arch/powerpc/boot so it first builds
the files that the wrapper script needs, then runs it to create
whatever flavours of zImage are required.
This version does uImages as well. The zImage names are changed
slightly; zImage.pseries is the one with the PT_NOTE program header
entry added, and zImage.pmac is the one without. If the
zImage.pseries gets made, it will also get hardlinked to zImage;
otherwise, if zImage.pmac is made, it gets hardlinked to zImage.
