This patch breaks a number of boards by growing the code size even for
boards which never make use of this new stuff.

Affected boards: TQM8555 TQM8541

[Building with ELDK 4.2]:

+ ./MAKEALL TQM8555
Configuring for TQM8555 - Board: TQM85xx, Options: MPC8555,TQM8555=y,HOSTNAME=tqm8555,BOARDNAME="TQM8555"
ppc_6xx-ld: warning: dot moved backwards before `.bss'
ppc_6xx-ld: warning: dot moved backwards before `.bss'
ppc_6xx-ld: u-boot: section .text lma 0xfffc0000 overlaps previous sections
ppc_6xx-ld: u-boot: section .rodata lma 0xfffef388 overlaps previous sections
ppc_6xx-ld: u-boot: section .reloc lma 0xffffa400 overlaps previous sections

ppc_6xx-ld: u-boot: section .u_boot_cmd lma 0xffffea68 overlaps previous sections

Please fix.

Best regards,
