Pieter Smith 76165265af barebox: support auxiliary config build
Adds support to build barebox with an auxiliary config.

This is useful for building an SPL (Secondary Program Loader) in
addition to the traditional TPL (Tertiary Program Loader). The
Beaglebone Black for example has two barebox configurations:

- am335x_defconfig builds the full barebox bootloader with device
  tree

- am335x_mlo_defconfig builds the smaller MLO bootloader that loads
  the full barebox bootloader from the eMMC or SD card.

Tested with the following defconfig:

  # architecture
  BR2_arm=y
  BR2_cortex_a8=y
  BR2_ARM_EABIHF=y

  # system
  BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_HOSTNAME="beaglebone"
  BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_DEVTMPFS=y
  BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_REMOUNT_ROOTFS_RW=y

  # filesystem
  BR2_PACKAGE_AM33X_CM3=y
  BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2=y
  BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_4=y

  # bootloader
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX=y
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_BOARD_DEFCONFIG="am335x"
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_IMAGE_FILE="images/barebox-am33xx-beaglebone.img"
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_CUSTOM_ENV=y
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_CUSTOM_ENV_PATH="board/beaglebone/barebox/barebox.env"
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_AUX=y
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_AUX_BOARD_DEFCONFIG="am335x_mlo"
  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_AUX_IMAGE_FILE="images/barebox-am33xx-beaglebone-mlo.img"

  # kernel
  BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
  BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_DEFCONFIG=y
  BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="omap2plus"
  BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_ZIMAGE=y

  # use the barebox built-in dtb
  # BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_SUPPORT is not set

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
