3fda16078b qoriq: add support for WatchGuard Firebox M300
This device is based on NXP's QorIQ T2081QDS board, with a quad-core
dual-threaded 1.5 GHz ppc64 CPU and 4GB ECC RAM. The board has 5
ethernet interfaces, of which 3 are connected to the ethernet ports on
the front panel. The other 2 are internally connected to a Marvell
88E6171 switch; the other 5 ports of this switch are also connected to
the ethernet ports on the front panel.

Installation: write the sdcard image to an SD card. Stock U-Boot will
not boot, wait for it to fail then run these commands:

setenv OpenWrt_fdt image-watchguard-firebox-m300.dtb
setenv OpenWrt_kernel watchguard_firebox-m300-kernel.bin
setenv wgBootSysA 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootdelay=2 console=$consoledev,$baudrate fsl_dpaa_fman.fsl_fm_max_frm=1530; ext2load mmc 0:1 $fdtaddr $OpenWrt_fdt; ext2load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr $OpenWrt_kernel; bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr'
saveenv
reset

The default U-Boot boot entry will now boot OpenWrt from the SD card.

080a769b4d qoriq: new target
Add a new target named "qoriq", that will support boards using PowerPC
processors from NXP's QorIQ brand.

This doesn't actually add support for any board yet, so that
installation instructions can go in the commit message of the commit
that adds actual support for a board.

Using CONFIG_E6500_CPU here due to the kernel using -mcpu=powerpc64
rather than -mcpu=e5500 when selecting CONFIG_E5500_CPU. The only
difference between e5500 and e6500 is AltiVec support, and the kernel
checks for it at runtime. Musl will only check at runtime if AltiVec
support is disabled at compile-time, so we need to use e5500 in CPU_TYPE
to avoid SIGILL.

Math emulation (CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION_HW_UNIMPLEMENTED) is required, as
neither e5500 nor e6500 implement fsqrt nor fsqrts, and musl hardcodes
sqrt and sqrtf to use these ASM instructions on PowerPC64.
