Dear Graeme Russ,

This patch is in readiness for moving all u-boot code + data from Flash to RAM. Low level init code is not needed after bootstrap and therefore does not need to be copied. Moving this code into dedicated sections makes it easier
But is this worth the effort? It makes the design more complicated.
Actually I think the opposite is true - The low level asm code is all placed at the bottom (or is it top?) end of the Boot Flash rather than interleaved in the rest of the .text section. This is critical for the real mode code as there is a tight limit on the jump lengths. This patch makes it all the more consistent
Best regards,
