I only added the defines for the base address in order to have the
startup code enable the second EFC correctly. I haven't done anything
for the flash driver yet.

We are thinking of making a flash bootloader, using Redboot as a
starting point but trimming it down and changing it to be able to load
binaries directly into flash and run the binaries from flash as well.
This work will obviously involve a look at the at91 flash driver.

Which brings me to the next question: Will be eCos 3.0 be released with
flash_v2 ? If so it will make more sense to continue this work on the
flash_v2 branch.
