+ Per PR216, "libbsp/powerpc/shared" BSP has been modified considerably
+ with the goal to make it more flexible and reusable by other
+ BSPs. The main strategies were:
+ - eliminate hardcoded base addresses; devices use offsets
+ and a BSP defined base address.
+ - separate functionality into different files (e.g. reboot from
+ inch.c to reboot.c) which can be overridden by a 'derived' BSP.
+ - separate initialization code into separate files (e.g. PCI
+ bridge detection/initialization was separated from the more
+ generic PCI access routines), also to make it easier for
+ 'derived' BSPs to substitute their own initialization code.
+ There are also a couple of enhancements and fixes:
+ - IRQ handling code now has a hook for attaching a VME bridge.
+ - OpenPIC is now explicitely initialized (polarities, senses).
Eliminated the implicit assumption on the presence of an ISA PIC.
- UART and console driver now supports more than 1 port. The current
maximum of 2 can easily be extended by enlarging a table (it
