The current ca9x4_ct_vxp platform contains support for a Versatile
Express motherboard with a quad core A9 core tile.
This patch separates the Versatile Express motherboard code and the
A9 specific code, to ease supporting more core tiles in the next
patches.
Andre: merged the first two of Ryan's original patches and did some
checkpatch fixes.

The top level Makefile does not do any recursion into subdirs when
cleaning, so these clean/distclean targets in random arch/board dirs
never get used. Punt them all.
MAKEALL didn't report any errors related to this that I could see.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Adds support for the ARM quad-core Cortex-A9 processor
This system includes a motherboard(Versatile Express), daughterboard
(Coretile), and SOC(Cortex-A9 quad core). The serial port, ethernet,
and flash systems work with these additions. The naming convention
is:
SOC -> CortexA9 quad core = ca9x4
daughterboard -> Coretile = ct
motherboard -> Versatile Express = vxp
This gives ca9x4_ct_vxp.c as the board support file.
