Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:

  1) Add O= to the make command line
  'make O=/tmp/build all'

  2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
  'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
  'make'

The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'

Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.

When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.

- Add IXP4xx NPE ethernet MAC support
- Add support for Intel IXDPG425 board
- Add support for Prodrive PDNB3 board
- Add IRQ support

 sufferes from licensing issues. Blame Intel.]

* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 10 Jan 2005:
  Update support for OMAP2420 (ARM11) and H4 board:
  o clean up and add new types to H4 memory probe code.
  o fix to work with internal boot.
  o added PRCM config III operation.
  o fix marginal flash timings.
  o add revison ATAG usage.
  o enable voltage scaling at power chip.
  o fix compile error for i2c.

* Fix network problem (error when receiving multiple ARP packets)

  Reset monitor size back to 256 so environment can be written
  to flash on MPC85xx ADS and CDS releases.

* Patch by Paolo Broggini, 02 Sep 2004:
  Make BSS clearing on ARM systems more robust

* Patch by Yue Hu and Joe, 01 Sep 2004:
  - add PCI support for ixp425;
  - add EEPRO100 suppor tfor ixdp425 board.

* Fix problem with protected sector detection in driver/cfi_flash.c

- update ARM boards to use constants from mach-types.h

ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.

Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.

  before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
  CF card inserted)

* Cleanup of some init functions

* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
  to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.

* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes

* Patch by Kyle Harris, 30 Oct 2003:
  Fix build errors for ixdp425 board

* Patch by David M. Horn, 29 Oct 2003:
  Fixes to build under CYGWIN

* Get IceCube MGT5100 working (again)

  - Added Motorola CPU 8540/8560 support (cpu/85xx)
  - Added Motorola MPC8540ADS board support (board/mpc8540ads)
  - Added Motorola MPC8560ADS board support (board/mpc8560ads)

* Minor code cleanup

* Make 5200 reset command _really_ reset the board, without running
  any other code after it

* Fix flash mapping and display on P3G4 board

* Patch by Kyle Harris, 15 Jul 2003:
  - add support for Intel IXP425 CPU
  - add support for IXDP425 eval board
