Override -march setting for tegra to -march=armv4t for files that are
necessary for low level init on tegra.

The recent change to use -march=armv7-a for armv7 caused a regression
on tegra because tegra starts boot on a arm7tdmi processor before
transferring control to the cortex-a9.  While still executing on the
arm7tdmi there are calls to getenv_ulong() and memset() that cause an
illegal instruction exception if compiled for armv7.

(This seems to be necessary to use gcc-4.6.1, but not gcc-4.5.3. The
Whistler patches I just sent were tested with this fix in place)

Hi Tom, could you pick this up in u-boot-tegra?  Without it tegra is
currently broken in both u-boot-tegra and u-boot gits depending on the
compiler you use.

It's been there for a while, I believe, at least in u-boot-tegra/master.

Ah you're right sorry, my remote was stale.  What's the next merge
window to get this into u-boot/master?  I imagine other people must be
running into this too.
