long term solution will depend still using romcc for 4 way and 8 way Opteron system?, if we are using cache_as_ram we don't have a chance to make entry32.inc+auto.inc+crt0.S bigger than 64K.
or we reorginze the map to linuxbios_ram auto.inc -->init section ----> it will jmp to linuxbios_ram entry32.inc+fallback.inc----> it will call real_main at last
problem is to make use gcc to produce auto.inc and avoid the duplicate Label problm, i already merge auto.c and failback.c into cache_as_ram.c

_ROMTOP = (_start >= 0xffff0000) ? 0xfffffff0 : 0xfffffff8;So i suggest we put the line in reset16.lds and dont accept the line in ldscript.lb
at best this is a temporary fix. Putting computations into the ldscript is going to cause us trouble later.
