common place


They fail to build like this:

...
Configuring for TQM855L board...
/work/tmp-8xx/u-boot.lds:74 cannot move location counter backwards (from 4000800c to 40008000)
make: *** [/work/tmp-8xx/u-boot] Error 1
ppc_6xx-size: '/work/tmp-8xx/u-boot': No such file
...
Configuring for TQM860L board...
/work/tmp-8xx/u-boot.lds:74 cannot move location counter backwards (from 4000802c to 40008000)
make: *** [/work/tmp-8xx/u-boot] Error 1
ppc_6xx-size: '/work/tmp-8xx/u-boot': No such file

It seems this change increases the code size somehow - which I would
not expect from your comment above.  Please have a look.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
