The BCM2708 is an ARM SoC from Broadcom. It is the primary SoC in a
series which contains the BCM2835 amongst other variants. This patch
adds very basic support for this series of SoCs, under the BCM2708 name.

Note that the documentation in the latter .pdf assumes the MMU setup
that's used on the "VideoCore" companion processor, and does not document
physical peripheral addresses. Subtract 0x5e000000 to obtain the physical
addresses.

The BCM2835 SoC is used in the Raspberry Pi. This patch also adds a
minimal device tree for this board; enough to see some very early kernel
boot messages through earlyprintk. However, this patch does not yet
provide a useful booting system.

This patch was extracted from git://github.com/lp0/linux.git branch
rpi-split from 3-4 months ago, and significantly stripped down and
modified since.
