This is a trivial 4xx plaform that uses the new simple bsp from
Josh and is handy to use in simulators such as ISS or even Mambo
who don't properly implement most of the actual devices in the
SoC but really only the core.

The maple platform failed to load because it's firmware could not take a
link address of 0x4000000.  A new platform type with a link address of
0x400000 had to be created for the maple.

<title>powerpc: Use scripts/mkuboot.sh instead of 'mkimage'</title>

mkuboot.sh provides a basic wrapper for the 'mkimage' utility.  Using
mkuboot.sh provides clearer error reporting and allows a toolchain to
use its own 'mkimage' executable specified by ${CROSS_COMPILE}mkimage.
Additionally, this brings PowerPC in line with other architectures
which already call mkimage via mkuboot.sh.

Some XPedite52xx boards have a legacy boot loader requiring some special
care in the boot wrapper.  The use of cuboot-85xx is needed to fix
up embedded device trees, and a custom link address is specified to
accommodate the boot loader and larger kernel image sizes used on X-ES
MPC85xx platforms.

This adds the bootwrapper for the cuImage target and a compatible property
check for "pnpPNP,501" to the generic serial console support code.
The default link address for the cuImage target is set to 0x800000. This
allows to boot the kernel with AmigaOS4's second level bootloader, which
always loads a uImage at 0x500000.

Commit 91a00302 was causing NVRAM corruption on some pSeries machines,
