[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/5] x86: Put global data on the stack

Graeme Russ graeme.russ at gmail.com
Sun Apr 29 14:00:21 CEST 2012


Putting global data on the stack simplifies the init process (and makes it
slightly quicker). During the 'flash' stage of the init sequence, global
data is in the CAR stack. After SDRAM is initialised, global data is copied
from CAR to the SDRAM stack
