9b4b8feb96 [POWERPC] Add memchr() to the bootwrapper
This adds a memchr() implementation to the bootwrapper, which will
be needed when libfdt is merged in.

0ae0b54565 [POWERPC] Move bootwrapper's strchr() and strncmp() from .h to string.S
Currently the bootwrapper has implementations of strchr() and
strncmp(), but they're inlines in flatdevtree_env.h, rather than in
string.S with all the rest of the string functions.  This moves
them to string.S.

b4e7de0f35 powerpc: Avoid unaligned loads and stores in boot memcpy code
The 601 processor will generate an alignment exception for accesses
which cross a page boundary.  In the boot wrapper code, OF is still
handling all exceptions, and it doesn't have an alignment exception
handler that emulates the instruction and continues.

This changes the memcpy and memmove routines in the boot wrapper to
avoid doing unaligned accesses.  If the source and destination are
misaligned with respect to each other, we just copy one byte at a
time.

94b212c29f powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc
This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well
as 64-bit ones.  This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit
powermacs (i.e. all recent machines).
