Thank you. This patch is required to get Kirkwood-based boards working
again when using the CodeSourcery 2009q3 toolchain.

But shouldn't this change be applied to all ARM linker scripts, ie
arch/arm/cpu/*/u-boot.lds?

And on many ARM platforms (including Kirkwood), the timer implementation
is still accessing BSS variables before relocation.

Is someone working on this? Candidates are:

$ git grep "static ulong timestamp"
arch/arm/cpu/arm1136/mx31/timer.c:static ulong timestamp;
arch/arm/cpu/arm1136/omap24xx/timer.c:static ulong timestamp;
