are made towards GPT support, which should follow soon)

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.

enabled at this time, and the md5 remains constant with this change.
Apart from the 'accept any partitioning scheme on the device' changes,
this was the biggest delta...

code. Added a copyright for the work I did to this file a couple of
years ago. Add John's copyright too, since I'm sure I'll be pulling
more into this code. This also implements a new -n option to not
allow breaking into the boot sequence which was original in the patch
John posted (not in the original i386 code I based this boot2.c on,
only the name is the same). I haven't checked to see if he did that,
or if it was one of Sam's improvements.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:

- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

order. The kernel used to shuffle them around to get things right,
but that was recently fixed. This makes our boot loader match the
behavior of most other boot loaders for the atmel parts. This bug was
inherited from the Kwikbyte loader that we started from.
This bug was discovered by Bj.ANvrn KNvnig back in June, but fell on the
floor. He provided patches to the kernel, include backwards
compatibility options that were similar to Olivier's if_ate.c commit.
Add support for the CENTIPAD board (http://www.harerod.de/centipad/index.html)

GetSeconds(). Instead, use CRTR register shifted right 15. This
gives us a range of 32 seconds we can do for timeout.
Shift to using == rather than < or > for calculating the timeout,
since if we can't read the ST_CTRT register twice in a second we have
even bigger problems to worry about, and == deals with the 'wrap'
issue.
This lets me type at the boot2 prompt again! Woo Hoo!

CSD is usually 512 (well, 9), but for 2GB (and the rogue 4GB SD cards)
it is 1024 (or 2048 for 4GB). This value doesn't work for the block
read commands (which really want 512). Hardcode 512 for those. This
may break really old MMC cards that don't have a 512 block size (I've
never seen one: make my day and send me one :-), but since the MMC
side of the house is currently broken, it should only have the effect
that 2GB (and non-conforming 4GB) SD cards will work.
My 'non-conforming' 4GB SD card also works now too. The
non-conforming 4GB SD cards were sold for a while before the SD
association was worried they would be (a) incompatible (different FAT
flavor on them) and (b) confusing for the new SDHC standard and
cracked down on suppliers' bogus use of the SD trademark...
The changes to getstr() is so that the character that is
passed in to it, is also processed just as the rest. I also
removed one of the getc() calls otherwise you loose every
second character.
I also changed the strcpy of kname, so that it only happens if
kname is '\0'. This is so that one can pass a kernel in
through /boot.config.
The last change to boot2.c is in parse(). If you tried to type
a kernel name to boot, the first character was lost, the arg--
fix that.

Massive update. The highlights:
o dramatically cut memory usage by writing better, less intertwingled
code.
o implement booting off mmc/sd cards (sd only tested one at the moment)
o start to split out board specific stuff for boot2.

changes in the future. This helps with getting started and to
overcome the really sucky level of granuality this timeout has in
getc. A timeout of 1 means 'wait until top of next second' rather
than 'wait for at least a second'.
Make this compile, assuming that you have linux installed in a
sensible place. tag_list is disabled by default, since we don't
distribute linux, but it is desirable to allow the boot loader to boot
Linux or FreeBSD (mostly for testing).

o Use a directory layout that is more akin to the i386 boot layout.
o Create a libat91 for library routines that are used by one or more
of the boot loaders.
o Create bootiic for booting from an iic part.
o Create bootspi for booting from an spi part.
o Optimize the size of many of these routines (especially emac.c). Except
for the emac.c optimizations, all these have been tested.
o eliminate the inc directory, libat91 superceeds it.
o Move linker.cfg up a layer to allow it to be shared.
