I've finally brushed of these patches and I'm working on cleaning them
up now.

Unfortunately a lot of the CONFIG_xxx variables with dram base
address derived values get exported through cpp -E -dM which does
not do macro expansion, and then used in Makefiles to pass to the
linker and such. So I've been unable to get big of the
#ifdef ... #else ... #endif block setting various defines for this.

I've been able to make the environment block use the trick you
suggested, so this does give a nice cleanup.

Hans
