I'm not supposed to submit patches here, these are just requests for
review ;-).

:-). And opportunity for me to try my luck at arm assembly. Does this
look correct?

        ldr     r0, =(CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE)
        ldr     r1, =IRQ_STACK_START_IN
        str     r0, [r1]

        bx      lr

Hmm... I guess that should go to the central header file? No need to
sprinkle it all through the C files. (Done).

Some braces have been harmed by creation of this patch.

Dinh has to help here :-(.

Killed, thanks. Lets see what the compiler thinks.
