sbc8548: reclaim wasted sector in boot flash

By nature of being based off the MPC8548CDS board, this
board inherited an ENV_SIZE setting of 256k.  But since
it has a smaller flash device (8MB soldered on), it has
a native sector size of 128k, and hence the ENV_SIZE was
causing 2 sectors to be used for the environment.

By removing the unused sector, we can push TEXT_BASE up
closer to the end of address space and reclaim that
sector for any other application.  This also fixes the
mismatch between TEXT_BASE and MONITOR_LEN reported by
Kumar earlier.

Since this board also supports the ability to boot off
the 64MB SODIMM flash, this change is forward looking
with that in mind; i.e. the settings for MONITOR_LEN
and ENV_SIZE will work when the 512k sectors of the
SODIMM flash are used for alternate boot in the future.

Updating U-boot with U-boot:
============================
Note that versions of u-boot up to and including 2009.08 had u-boot stored
at 0xfff8_0000 -> 0xffff_ffff (512k). Currently it is being stored from
0xfffa_0000 -> 0xffff_ffff (384k). If you use an old macro/script to
update u-boot with u-boot and it uses the old address, you will render
your board inoperable, and you will require JTAG recovery.
The following steps list how to update with the current address:
tftp u-boot.bin
md 200000 10
protect off all
erase fffa0000 ffffffff
cp.b 200000 fffa0000 60000
md fffa0000 10
protect on all
The "md" steps in the above are just a precautionary step that allow
you to confirm the u-boot version that was downloaded, and then confirm
that it was copied to flash.
