[U-Boot] OMAP3: relocation and bss usage (timer, gpmc, ...)

Hello,

browsing through some code searching for a reason why an u-boot compiled 
with gcc 4.5.1 fails to boot on a beagleboard, I've come through another 
place where bss is used before relocation: gpmc_init (gpmc_cfg) in 
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap3/mem.c.

I haven't fixed it up to now, but I want to inform the people actually 
working with that board (currently I don't have any to do with that 
board and just touching at from time to time for fun), that there might 
be other places than the already mentioned timer_init() and that 
gpmc_init().

All candidates for such problems could be found in  board_init_f() in 
arch/arm/lib/board.c, escpecially all functions which appear in 
init_sequence in board.c.

Someone should take the time and check them all. ;)

Regards,

Alexander
