The Makefile rule to create vers.c for loader version info was
previously duplicated in each of the various loader Makefiles.
Instead, share a common rule in Makefile.inc.

dev_net.c code.
The NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE flag was added in r201932 to prevent that behaviour
on some architectures (sparc64 and powerpc64) the default was left to always
open and close the device for each open and close of a file by the loader
because it was necessary for u-boot on arm.
Since it has been added, the flag was turned on for every arches including the
u-boot loader for arm.
This also fixes netbooting on RPi3 (tested by gonzo@)
For the loader.efi it greatly speeds up netbooting

alignment aborts in ubldr.bin for RPi that started happening with clang 3.8
(earlier clang apparently didn't generate strd instructions that trigger
the alignment fault). The abort happened in ubldr.bin and not ubldr (elf
version) because the elf headers are 0xf4 bytes long, and stripping them
off left everything 4-byte aligned.
While here, also stop aligning the data segment to a page boundary, align
it to 8 bytes instead (aligning to a page just needlessly makes the file
bigger); pointed out by andrew@.
Disable some compiler warnings for GCC (non-standard compiler) fixing
build failures introduced by r293724, which enabled WARNS in the EFI boot
code, when compiling with none standard compiler (GCC).

access and reopening it before the next (causing it to re-obtain network
params each time). This vastly speeds up netbooting.
static-linked to run at a fixed position, is still installed to maintain
compatibility with existing configurations. The makefile now also creates
and installs ubldr.bin, a stripped binary (no elf headers) with an entry
point offset of 0 that can be loaded by u-boot at any address and launched
with "go ${loadaddr}".
To use ubldr.bin, U-Boot must still be built with the CONFIG_API option,
but no longer needs the CONFIG_ELF option.
standard file in the following ways:
- modules_path includes /boot/dtb
- It doesn't contain 533 lines, of which 500 are either commented out,
empty, or something_which_doesnt_work_on_arm_anyway=NO
The standard defaults file takes 40+ seconds to process on an arm beaglebone
board. This one takes just a couple seconds.
This gets installed instead of the original because of the .PATH magic in
the makefile.
moving U-Boot specific code from libfdt.a to a new libuboot_fdt.a. This
needs to be a new library for linking to work correctly.

env). You can import selected variables or the whole environment. Each
u-boot var=value becomes uboot.var=value in the loader env. You can also
use 'ubenv show' to display uboot vars without importing them.
The NAND Flash environment consists of several distinct components:
- NAND framework (drivers harness for NAND controllers and NAND chips)
- NAND simulator (NANDsim)
- NAND file system (NAND FS)
- Companion tools and utilities
- Documentation (manual pages)
This work is still experimental. Please use with caution.

This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).
Only netbooting is supported at the moment.
