*	Refactor linker-generated arrays	Albert ARIBAUD	2013-03-12	-53/+199
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols which were previously linker-generated are now compiler- generated. This causes relocation records of type R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as well as after. Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker- lists span possibly all target architectures, notably PowerPC.

*	common: Implement support for linker-generated arrays	Marek Vasut	2012-10-22	-0/+148
	This patch adds support for linker-generated array. These arrays are a generalization of the U-Boot command declaration approach. Basically, the idea is to generate an array, where elements of the array are statically initialized at compile time and each element is declared separatelly at different place. Such array is assembled together into continuous piece of memory by linker and a pointer to it's first entry can then be retrieved via accessor. The actual implementation relies on placing any variable that is to represent an element of LG-array into particular subsection of the .u_boot_list linker section . The subsection is determined by user options. Once compiled, it is possible to dump all symbols placed in .u_boot_list section and the subsections in which they should be and generate appropriate bounds for each requested subsection of the .u_boot_list section. Each such subsection thus contains __start and __end entries at the begining and end respecitively. This allows for simple run-time traversing of the array, since the symbols are properly defined.
