[PATCH v3 00/35] global_data: Reduce size of struct global_data

[Simon Glass]

The global data structure has grown quite a lot over the years, being
the best place to put an important pointer or something that must be
accessed before and after relocation.

This series attempts to reduce the size a little, by moving some things
out and shrinking and aligning some fields.

Some fields are needed during init but not afterwards. To deal with this
a new 'boardf' structure is created, which sits on the stack and is only
present during board_init_f(). It is possible that more fields could
move to this struct, but for now only 4 are moved.

An assumption is made that an int is 32-bits wide on all architectures,
which seems to be true, but maintainers should be able to confirm.

Mostly the code-size impact is neutral, but the patch
'Use less space for environment fields' does increase U-Boot's size by
about 30 bytes on aarch64.

For firefly-rk3399 (64-bit) the size of global reduces from 456 to 368
bytes. For SPL it reduces from 416 to 272 bytes.

There are other things which could be attempted, for example:
- Using hlist instead of list for some lists
- Checking that only necessary fields are present in SPL

Changes in v3:
- Keep new_ptr as a ulong to avoid overflow
- Update the comment for malloc_ptr

Changes in v2:
- Rebase to -next
