The COFF zImage (for booting oldworld powermacs) wasn't being built
correctly because the procedure descriptor in crt0.S for the zImage
entry point wasn't declared as .globl, and therefore wasn't getting
pulled in from wrapper.a by the linker. This adds the necessary
.globl statement.

crt0.S had provisions to provide run address relocaton to got2 and
cache flush, but not on the bss clear or stack pointer load. Apply
the same fixup for them.

This patch adds a reg.h to the zImage code, with common definitions
for accessing system registers. For now, this includes functions for
retrieving the PVR and the stack pointer. This patch then uses the
new reg.h to let start() display the running stack address without
having to explicitly pass the stack as a parameter from the asm code.

Some platforms might need to run some code before the zImage start, but
could otherwise use the bss clear and relocation code. Export the
start address strongly as zImage_start_lib.

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).

Correct the loop for cacheflush. No idea where I copied the code from,
but the original does not work correct. Maybe the flush is not needed.

This adds code to build zImage.coff and/or zImage.initrd.coff when
CONFIG_PPC32 and CONFIG_PPC_PMAC are defined. It also restructures
the OF client code and adds some workarounds for OF quirks on the
older machines.

Replacing the string labels with numbers saves 117 bytes in the final zImage.
These local labels are not discared.

This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well
as 64-bit ones. This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit
powermacs (i.e. all recent machines).
