binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.
Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

Commit beb2dc0a7a breaks the MPC8xx which
seems to not support using mfspr SPRN_TBRx instead of mftb/mftbu
despite what is written in the reference manual.
This patch reverts to the use of mftb/mftbu when CONFIG_8xx is
selected.

Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a
trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the
preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06.
Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts
it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects
that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to
sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to
stop setting it for all e500-family builds.
mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are
converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.

Add serial console support for non-OF systems. There is a generic serial
console layer which calls a serial console driver. Included is the serial
console driver for the ns16550 class of uarts. Necessary support routines
are added as well.
