[POWERPC] bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImages Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image with a fdt blob which means for any given configuration only one dts file can be selected and so support for only one board can be built This moves the selection of the default .dts file out of the kernel config and into the bootwrapper makefile. The makefile chooses which images to build based on the kernel config and the dts source file name is taken directly from the image name. For example "cuImage.ebony" will use "ebony.dts" as the device tree source file. In addition, this patch allows a specific image to be requested from the command line by adding "cuImage.%" and "treeImage.%" targets to the list of valid built targets in arch/powerpc/Makefile. This allows the default dts selection to be overridden. Another advantage to this change is it allows a single defconfig to be supplied for all boards using the same chip family and only differing in the device tree. Important note: This patch adds two new zImage targets; zImage.dtb.% and zImage.dtb.initrd.% for zImages with embedded dtb files. Currently there are 5 platforms which require this: ps3, ep405, mpc885ads, ep88xc, adder875-redboot and ep8248e. This patch *changes the zImage filenames* for those platforms. ie. 'zImage.ps3' is now 'zImage.dtb.ps3'. This new zImage.dtb targets were added so that the .dts file could be part of the dependancies list for building them.

[POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve zImage entry point 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).
