This function provides an opportunity for some last minute cleanup and
reconfiguration before control is handed over to Linux. It's possible this
may need to do something in the future, but for now it's left empty. It's set
up as a weak symbol so it can be overridden if necessary on a case by case
basis.

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

So it can be used as a type in struct global_data and remove an ugly typecast

Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

Changes for v2:
- Rebased against changes made to patch #3
- Removed extra indent
- Tweaked commit message
The inline assembler is ugly and uses hard coded magic numbers. Make it more
elegant to allow cleaner implementation of future GDT related patches. The
compiler seems smart enough to generate the same code anyway
--
Changes for v2:
- Rebased against revised patch #3
- Use GDT size define instead of magic number
- Added commit message
There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.
