This patch assumes only crt0.S sets the register used for
gd in asm. I just noticed cpu/armv7/lowlevel_init.S does set gd
manually, so all users of the common board.c are likely
bricked with the patch as is. Looking into it....
Looking into this, it seems lowlevel_init.S could simply be removed
by placing the call to s_init at a better spot. As Tom pointed out,
this is already being discussed at [1]. As that is a topic of its own
I intend to simply change lowlevel_init.S to us r9 in this patchset.

Jeroen
