For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
R1: stack pointer
- R2: TOC pointer
+ R2: reserved for system use
R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
R5-R10: parameter passing
R13: small data area pointer
(U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
- ==> U-Boot will use R29 to hold a pointer to the global data
+ ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
address of the global data structure is known at compile time),

2. The pointer to the jump table is passed to the application in a
machine-dependent way. PowerPC, ARM and MIPS architectures use a
dedicated register to hold the pointer to the 'global_data'
- structure: r29 on PowerPC, r8 on ARM and k0 on MIPS. The x86
+ structure: r2 on PowerPC, r8 on ARM and k0 on MIPS. The x86
architecture does not use such a register; instead, the pointer to
the 'global_data' structure is passed as 'argv[-1]' pointer.
