Geoff Levand e5a21dd873 [POWERPC] PS3: Fix bootwrapper hang bug
Fix a bug in the lv1_get_repository_node_value() routine of the PS3
bootwrapper.  Changes in the PS3 system firmware 2.20 cause this bug
to hang the system when branching from the bootwrapper to the kernel
_start.

Since the video system has not yet been enabled at the time
the bug is hit, the system hangs with a blank screen.  Earlier
firmwares don't cause such a catastrophic failure, and so this
bug went undetected.

Geoff Levand 24ed8559c7 PS3: Fix build with 32-bit toolchains
The PS3 bootwrapper files use instructions only available on 64-bit CPUs.
Add the code generation directive '.machine "ppc64"' for toolchains
configured for 32-bit CPUs.

Geoff Levand bafdb64577 [POWERPC] PS3: Bootwrapper support.
Add support to build the PS3 flash rom image and remove some unneeded
lmb calls.

The PS3's lv1 loader supports loading gzipped binary images from flash
rom to addr zero. The loader enters the image at addr 0x100.

In this implementation a bootwrapper overlay is use to arrange for the
kernel to be loaded to addr zero and to have a suitable bootwrapper
entry at 0x100.  To construct the rom image, 0x100 bytes from offset
0x100 in the kernel is copied to the bootwrapper symbol
__system_reset_kernel.  The 0x100 bytes at the bootwrapper symbol
__system_reset_overlay is then copied to offset 0x100.  At runtime the
bootwrapper program copies the 0x100 bytes at __system_reset_kernel to
addr 0x100.

zImage.ps3 is a wrapped image that contains a flat device tree, an lv1
compatible entry point, and an optional initrd.  otheros.bld is the gzip
compresed rom image built from zImage.ps3.  otheros.bld is suitable for
programming into the PS3 boot flash memory.
