* Patch by Gleb Natapov, 19 Sep 2003:

  Move most of the timer interrupt related PPC code to ppc_lib/interrupts.c

* Patch by Anders Larsen, 17 Sep 2003:
  Bring ARM memory layout in sync with the documentation:
  stack and malloc-heap are now located _below_ the U-Boot code

+- Interrupt support (PPC):
+
+                There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
+                for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
+                for cpu specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
+                should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
+                cpu resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
+                (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
+                timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for cpu
+                specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
+                / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
+                general timer_interrupt().

+Subject: Re: [PATCH][CFT] bring ARM memory layout in line with the documented behaviour
+From: "Anders Larsen" <alarsen@rea.de>
+Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 14:15:21 +0200
+To: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
+
+...
+>I still see  references  to  _armboot_start,  _armboot_end_data,  and
+>_armboot_end - which role do these play now? Can we get rid of them?
+>
+>How are they (should they be) set in your memory map above?
+
+_armboot_start contains the value of TEXT_BASE (0xA07E0000); it seems
+TEXT_BASE and _armboot_start are both used for the same purpose in
+different parts of the (ARM) code.
+Furthermore, the startup code (cpu/<arm>/start.S) internally uses
+another variable (_TEXT_BASE) with the same content as _armboot_start.
+I agree that this mess should be cleaned up.
+
+_armboot_end_data is the end address of the initialized data section,
+and is only used in one place (board/logodl/flash.c - the reference in
+lib_arm/board.c is purely informational).
+
+_armboot_end is the end address of the BSS and is used to determine
+the address of the VFD buffer.
+
+Eliminating those should be doable, and at least the patch already
+eliminates _armboot_real_end.
