Gabor Juhos 5b7dd8163d MIPS: start.S: fix boundary check in relocate_code
The loop code copies more data with one than
necessary due to the 'ble' instuction. Use the
'blt' instruction instead to fix that.

Due to the lack of suitable hardware the Xburst
specific code is compile tested only. However the
change is quite obvious.

Gabor Juhos 14fdd1a8bf MIPS: start{, 64}.S: fill branch delay slots with NOP instructions
The romReserved and romExcHandle handlers are
accessed by a branch instruction however the
delay slots of those instructions are not filled.

Because the start.S uses the 'noreorder' directive,
the assembler will not fill the delay slots either,
and leads to the following assembly code:

  0000056c <romReserved>:
   56c:   1000ffff        b       56c <romReserved>

  00000570 <romExcHandle>:
   570:   1000ffff        b       570 <romExcHandle>

In the resulting code, the second branch instruction
is placed into the delay slot of the first branch
instruction, which is not allowed on the MIPS
architecture.

Zhi-zhou Zhang 0d69d918ab MIPS: fix a latent bug on initialize $gp
If bal is 8 bytes aligned, the _gp will not be 8 bytes aligned.
then the following ld insntrustion generates a Adel exception.
So here make _gp be always aligned in 8 bytes.

Zhi-zhou Zhang 32afad783e MIPS: add board qemu-mips64 support
Both big-endian and little-endian are tested with below commands:
Rom version: (Default, Now we config it as rom version)
qemu-system-mips64el -M mips -bios u-boot.bin -cpu MIPS64R2-generic -nographic
qemu-system-mips64 -M mips -bios u-boot.bin -cpu MIPS64R2-generic -nographic
Ram version:
qemu-system-mips64el -M mips -cpu MIPS64R2-generic -kernel u-boot -nographic
qemu-system-mips64 -M mips -cpu MIPS64R2-generic -kernel u-boot -nographic
