These patches mainly try to fix an outstanding mips bug:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/25533
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/22160
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/19550
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/18887
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/14935

As already discussed, the cause of this bug is a misalignment between
__got_start and _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. The __got_start misalignment
makes num_got_entries larger than needed. As a result, we update GOT
entries too many and corrupt top of the u_boot_cmd data. This will be
fixed by __got_{start,end} cleanups in linker scripts.

In addition to fixing above, I've takan $gp usage fix suggested by Vlad,
and cleaned up linker scripts, etc. Please review and give it a try.

thanks,

  Shinya
