By default U-Boot automatically calibrates TSC running frequency via
MSR and PIT. The calibration may not work on every x86 processor, so
a new Kconfig option CONFIG_TSC_CALIBRATION_BYPASS is introduced to
allow bypassing the calibration and assign a hardcoded TSC frequency
CONFIG_TSC_FREQ_IN_MHZ.
Normally the bypass should be turned on in a simulation environment
like qemu.

If coreboot is built with CONFIG_COLLECT_TIMESTAMPS, use the value
of base_time in coreboot's timestamp table as our timer base,
otherwise TSC counter value will be used.
Sometimes even coreboot is built with CONFIG_COLLECT_TIMESTAMPS,
the value of base_time in the timestamp table is still zero, so
we must exclude this case too (this is currently seen on booting
coreboot in qemu).

At present the normal update (which happens much later) does not work. This
seems to have something to do with the 'no eviction' mode in the CAR, or at
least moving the microcode update after that causes it not to work.
For now, do an update early on so that it definitely works. Also refuse to
continue unless the microcode update check (later in boot) is successful.

Memory Type Range Registers are used to tell the CPU whether memory is
cacheable and if so the cache write mode to use.
Clean up the existing header file to follow style, and remove the unneeded
code.
These can speed up booting so should be supported. Add these to global_data
so they can be requested while booting. We will apply the changes during
relocation (in a later commit).

This takes about about 700ms on link when running natively and 900ms when
running using the emulator. It is a waste of time if video is not enabled,
so don't bother running the video BIOS in that case.
We could add a command to run the video BIOS later when needed, but this is
not considered at present.

Introduce a gd->hose to save the pci hose in the early phase so that

codes need assign a valid gd->hose in the early phase.
Some variables are declared as static so change them to be either

MetaWare debugger (MDB) is still used as a primary tool for interaction
with target via JTAG. Moreover some very advanced features are not yet
implemented in GDB for ARC (and not sure if they will be implemnted
sometime soon given complexity and rare need for those features for
common user).
So if we're talking about development process when U-Boot is loaded in
target memory not by low-level boot-loader but manually through JTAG
chances are high developer uses MDB for it.
But MDB doesn't support PIE (position-independent executable) - it will
refuse to even start - that means no chance to load elf contents on
target.
Then the only way to load U-Boot in MDB is to fake it by:
1. Reset PIE flag in ELF header
This is simpe - on attempt to open elf MDB checks header and if it
doesn't match its expectation refuces to use provided elf.
2. Strip all debug information from elf
If (1) is done then MDB will open elf but on parsing of elf's debug
info it will refuse to process due to debug info it cannot understand
(symbols with PIE relocation).
Even though it could be done manually (I got it documented quite a while
ago here http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ARCNotes) having this automated
way is very convenient. User may build U-Boot that will be loaded on
target via MDB saying "make mdbtrick".
Then if we now apply the manipulation MDB will happily start and will
load all required sections into the target.
Indeed there will be no source-level debug info available. But still MDB
will do its work on showing disassembly, global symbols, registers,
accessing low-level debug facilities etc.
As a summary - this is a pretty dirty hack but it simplifies life a lot
for us ARc developers.

Resynchronize memcpy/memset with kernel 3.17 and build them in
Thumb2 mode (unified syntax). Those assembler files can be built
and linked in ARM mode too, however when calling them from Thumb2
built code, the stack got corrupted and the copy did not succeed
(the exact details have not been traced back). However, the Linux
kernel builds those files in Thumb2 mode. Hence U-Boot should
build them in Thumb2 mode too when CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is set.
To build the files without warning, some assembler instructions
had to be replaced with their UAL compliant variant (thanks
Jeroen for this input).
To build the file in Thumb2 mode the implicit-it=always option need
to be set to generate Thumb2 compliant IT instructions where needed.
We add this option to the general AFLAGS when building for Thumb2.

Reset cause: WDOG

Add a specific relocate_vectors macro that skips the vector relocation, as the
i.MX25 SoC does not provide RAM at the high vectors address (0xFFFF0000), and
(0x00000000) maps to ROM.
This allows mx25 to boot again.
