+ * shared/bspstart.c, shared/start.S: 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.
