Software Configuration:
=======================
-Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
-rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
-
-There are two classes of configuration variables:
-
-* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
- These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
- "CONFIG_".
-
-* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
- These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
- you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
- "CONFIG_SYS_".
-
-Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
-symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
-U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
-allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
-build.
-
-
Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
---------------------------------------------------
SPL-specific notes:
- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
- CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
- - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
- done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
- spl_board_init() function containing this call
- - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
-
-
-Configuration Options:
-----------------------
-
-Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
-such information is kept in a configuration file
-"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
-
-Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
-"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
-
-
-Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
-kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
-build a config tool - later.

-- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
-
- Offset of the initial data structure in the memory

-
- Note:
- On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
