v3 cover MIPS: bootm updates

- refactoring and optimization of bootm command
- add support for logical memory blocks (LMB)
- make external init ramdisks working again with recent kernels
- add support for bootm subcommand 'cmdline'
- prepare bootm for upcoming device tree support
- add bootm support for newly added MIPS Malta Qemu
- drop obsolete bootm support of MIPS Qemu

Changes in v3:
- rebased to current master
- drop patches 6, 8 and 9, which need further discussion and review
- removed boot_prep_linux_legacy due to dropped patches

Changes in v2:
- fix multi-line comment
- use debug() macro

PATCH v3 1/8 MIPS: bootm: fix checkpatch.pl warnings

2013.08.11. 21:39 keltez?ssel, Daniel Schwierzeck ?rta:

Quoted 1 line

Looks good, but the subject line is misleading a bit. I would expect that the patch fixes all warnings, however there are some CamelCase warnings even after the patch.

PATCH v3 2/8 MIPS: bootm: optimize kernel entry call

In reply to Daniel Schwierzeck

Fix signature of kernel entry function. Mark the kernel entry with __noreturn for better code optimisation.

PATCH v3 6/8 MIPS: bootm: add support for generic relocation of init ramdisks

In reply to Daniel Schwierzeck

All linux kernels after v2.6 require a page-aligned location of an external init ramdisk. Enable CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH to support this with the generic U-Boot relocation code.

PATCH v3 8/8 MIPS: bootm: drop obsolete Qemu specific bootm implementation

In reply to Daniel Schwierzeck

The Qemu specific bootm implementation was intended for a special Qemu target in Linux kernel. But this target has been dropped in v2.6.25-rc1 by commit 302922e5f6901eb6f29c58539631f71b3d9746b8

Author: Ralf Baechle <[email protected]>
Date: Tue Jan 29 10:15:02 2008 +0000

[MIPS] Qemu: Remove platform.

The Qemu platform was originally implemented to have an easily supportable platform until Qemu reaches a state where it emulates a real world system. Since the latest release Qemu is capable of emulating the MIPSsim and Malta platforms, so this goal has been reached. The Qemu plaform is also rather underfeatured so less useful than a Malta emulation.

Thus the special bootm implementation is obsolete by now and can be dropped. The Qemu support in U-Boot is going to be replaced by MIPS Malta board support.
