With recent toolchains, the environment sectors were no longer aligned to
sector boundaries. The reason was a combination of two bugs:
1) common/environment.c assumed that CONFIG_TQM8xxL would be defined
for all TQM8xxL and TQM8xxM boards. But "include/common.h", where
this gets defined, is not included here (and cannot be included
without causing lots of problems).
Added a new #define CFG_USE_PPCENV for all boards which really
want to put the environment is a ".ppcenv" section.
2) The linker scripts just include environment.o, silently assuming
that the objects in that file are really in the order in which
they are coded in the C file, i. e. "environment" first, then
"redundand_environment", and "env_size" last. However, current
toolchains (GCC-4.x) reorder the objects, causing the environment
data not to start on a flash sector boundary:
Instead of: we got:
40008000 T environment 40008000 T env_size
4000c000 T redundand_environment 40008004 T redundand_environment
40010000 T env_size 4000c004 T environment
Note: this patch fixes just the first part, and cures the alignment
problem by making sure that "env_size" gets placed correctly. However,
we still have a potential issue because primary and redundant
environment sectors are actually swapped, i. e. we have now:
40008000 T redundand_environment
4000c000 T environment
40010000 T env_size
This shall be fixed in the next version.

Old, obsolete and duplicated code was cleaned up and replace by the
new partitioning method. There are two possible approaches now:
* define a single, static partition
* use mtdparts command line option and dynamic partitioning
Default is static partitioning.
instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine _at_compile_
_time_ (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image,
or in a separate flash sector.
* Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)
* MPC823 LCD driver: Fill color map backwards, to allow for steady
display when Linux takes over
* Patch by Erwin Rol, 27 Feb 2003:
Add support for RTEMS (this time for real).
* Add support for "bmp info" and "bmp display" commands to load
bitmap images; this can be used (for example in a "preboot"
command) to display a splash screen very quickly after poweron.
* Add support for 133 MHz clock on INCA-IP board
Update for R360MPI board
* Add new meaning to "autostart" environment variable:
If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
"bootm" command will be copied to the load address
(and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
data.
* Set max brightness for MN11236 displays on TRAB board
