Actually, this...

>       bic     sp, sp, #7      /* 8-byte alignment for ABI compliance */

... should also be moved under the #else clause below -- no need to
eat up valuable stack space when GD is in gdata.

Also, this...

>       mov     r0, #0

... should remain just before the call to board_init_f which needs it.
Otherwise you run the (non-null) risk that r0 be non-zero on return
from s_init and then this non-zero value be passed to board_init_f.
