One part of this patch was part of the LEON2&3 patch, I missed that. 
cpu/leon3/ambapp.c:31,73,220

The thing is that the ambapp_apb_print variable is used when executing 
in rom before BSS has been cleared (cpu/leon3/ambapp.c:74 called from 
cpu/leon3/cpu_init.c:92 used to find the IRQ contoller). This is the 
case only because the ambapp command extends the standard leon3 scanning 
functions with a callback that is responsible to print what is found 
during scanning. The ambapp_apb_print controls if the callback function 
is called or not. I choose to implement it like this for smaller size, 
else I would have two scanning routines doing almost the exact same thing.
