[LinuxBIOS] Current build failures of mcp55 boards

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
all boards except one (see my patch from a few minutes ago for that)
fail due to section overlaps. If we fix these, we only need very minor
fixups before all boards will work.
Side note: The build system should really figure out how to solve
section overlaps without human intervention as long as the total space
is not exceeded.

Gigabyte M57SLI with my previous patch:
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: section .id [00000000fffbff64 -> 00000000fffbff7f] overlaps section .rom [00000000fffb7671 ->
00000000fffc08df]

Who wants to fix 4 boards for the price of one?

Regards,

This is non-trivial for v2's linker magic. v3 will not come with this
problem anymore.
