Dear Peter Tyser,

This series attempts to fix relocation to RAM for ppc boards.
I split the patches up pretty liberally, let me know if you'd like them organized differently.
I tried to be thorough during the changes (especially #1), let me know if I missed anything, there's lots of linker scripts for ppc boards:)
Peter Tyser (13): ppc: Enable full relocation to RAM ppc: Check for compilers that don't support relocation ppc: Remove board.c relocation fixups ppc: Remove pci config table pointer relocation fixups ppc: Remove extable relocation fixups ppc: Remove board-specific command table relocation fixups tsec: Remove PHY command relocation fixups fpga: Remove relocation fixups mpl: Remove memory test relocation fixups lwmon, lwmon5: Remove sysmon POST relocation fixups p3mx: Remove serial relocation fixups Conditionally perform common relocation fixups ppc: Remove reloc_off field from global_data structure
All patches applied to "reloc" branch. Thanks for all this work.
So far the only issue I've seen (I didn't do any actual testing yet, though) is the missing increment to the XF_VERSION value to indicate incompatibility with older standalone applications. If you agree, I woul like to squash this into the topmost commit on the "reloc" branch?
That sounds good to me. 2 additional comments: 1. Might be nice to move the jumptable to the beginning of the global_data struct when we increment XF_VERSION.
2. Depending on when you merge the reloc branch, it would be nice for people to give the patch in "[PATCH/RFC] arm/microblaze/nios/nios2/sh: Remove relocation fixups" a try. It should reduce the bloat on some other arches and will put pressure on other, non-relocatable arches to fix relocation:)
Best, Peter
