+ * startup/bspstart.c: Add capability for bootcard.c BSP Initialization
+ Framework to ask the BSP where it has memory for the RTEMS Workspace
+ and C Program Heap. These collectively are referred to as work area.
+ If the BSP supports this, then it does not have to include code to
+ split the available memory between the two areas. This reduces the
+ amount of code in the BSP specific bspstart.c file. Additionally, the
+ shared framework can initialize the C Library, call
+ rtems_debug_enable(), and dirty the work area memory. Until most/all
+ BSPs support this new capability, if the BSP supports this, it should
+ call RTEMS_BSP_BOOTCARD_HANDLES_RAM_ALLOCATION from its configure.ac.
+ When the transition is complete, this autoconf macro can be removed.
