* Fix data abort exception handling for arm920t CPU

* Fix alignment problems with flash driver for TRAB board

* Patch by Donald White, 21 May 2003:
  fix calculation of base address in pci_hose_config_device()

* Fix bug in command line parsing: "cmd1;cmd2" is supposed to always
  execute "cmd2", even if "cmd1" fails. Note that this is different
  to "run var1 var2" where the contents of "var2" will NOT be
  executed when a command in "var1" fails.

+Command Line Parsing:
+=====================
+
+There are two different command line parsers available  with  U-Boot:
+the old "simple" one, and the much more pwerful "hush" shell:
+
+Old, simple command line parser:
+--------------------------------
+
+- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
+- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
+- variable substitution using "... $(name) ..." syntax
+- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
+  for example:
+	setenv bootcmd bootm \$(address)
+- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
+	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
+
+Hush shell:
+-----------
+
+- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
+  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
+  until...do...done, ...
+- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
+  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
+  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
+  command
+
+General rules:
+--------------
+
+(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
+    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
+    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
+    executed anyway.
+
+(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
+    calling run with a list af variables as arguments), any failing
+    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
+    variables are not executed.
