This is a second patchset for new uImage, it includes architecture file renames, removals of OF_FLAT_TREE and standalone application support and further code refactoring.

This patchset is based on patchset1. MAKEALL was run for ppc/arm/mips/coldfire,
architestures, plus regression tests on lite5200b.

I haven't looked through these, but is it possible to make it so if you are using a flat device tree blob on PPC that we can grow the size dynamically as we handle some of the board fixups as part of the bootm processing?

That should be possible. It'll require to always move the blob to the new location (with the new size) - currently we move it only if needed. And, we would need to figure out what the grow delta should be, reading it from env variable (with the fallback default) should be flexible enough. But I would prefer to get back to this feature when new uImage is in place.

Cheers,
m.
