Patch "Replace CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE by auto-generated value"
(sha1: 25ddd1fb0a2281b182529afbc8fda5de2dc16d96)
introduce GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE which is sizeof aligned gd_t
(currently 0x40).
Microblaze configs used 0x40(128) because this place also contained
board info structure which lies on the top of ram.

U-Boot is placed to the top of the ram (for example 0xd7ffffff)
and bd structure was moved out of ram.

This patch is fixing this scheme with GENERATED_BD_INFO_SIZE
which swap global data and board info structures.

For example:
Current: gd 0xd7ffffc0, bd 0xd8000000
Fixed:   gd 0xd7ffffc0, bd 0xd7ffff90

This is actually wrong.

You are using CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET as if it were
CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_ADDR, but it ain't so:  it is an _offset_, and NOT
and address.

Don't do this. Instead, use two separate memset() calls, one for gd
and another one for bd. The stucts may be in a contiguous area now,
but you would probably run into nasty bugs if this gets changed one
day.

Best regards,

I agree. BTW: Maybe nios2 and sparc use it too.

I just wanted to save some instructions and no problem to separate it.

Thanks,

I see - I put the custodians on Cc:.

Yes, I understand this, but it's a dangerous thing to so, and
robust and maintainable code is more important than a few bytes.
