x86: Put global data on the stack
Putting global data on the stack simplifies the init process (and makes it slightly quicker). During the 'flash' stage of the init sequence, global data is in the CAR stack. After SDRAM is initialised, global data is copied from CAR to the SDRAM stack Signed-off-by: Graeme Russ <graeme.russ@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
