This patch adds basic support for the SiFive HiFive Unleashed
board.
Signed-off-by: Mark Corbin <mark.corbin at embecosm.com>

Changes v1 -> v2:
- removed the large kernel patch and replaced it with a custom
git repository (Arnout)
- reduced the kernel config fragment to a minimum (Arnout)
- use a separate root filesystem instead of a linked-in
initramfs image (Arnout)
- changed naming convention from sifive-u540* to
sifive_hifive* (Arnout)
- added post-image script to generate a complete SD card image
file (Arnout)
- updated the default configuration to make use of compressed
instructions and the lp64d ABI for builds.
- updated the DEVELOPERS file.

+SiFive HiFive Unleashed
+=======================
+
+This file describes how to use the pre-defined Buildroot
+configuration for the SiFive HiFive Unleashed board.
+
+Further information about the HiFive Unleashed board can be found
+at https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unleashed
+
+Building
+========
+
+Configure Buildroot using the default board configuration:
+
+ $ make sifive_hifive_unleashed_defconfig
+
+Customise the build as necessary:
+
+ $ make menuconfig
+
+Start the build:
+
+ $ make
+
+Result of the build
+===================
+
+Once the build has finished you will have the following files:
+
+ output/images/
+ +-- bbl
+ +-- bbl.bin
+ +-- rootfs.ext2
+ +-- rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2
+ +-- rootfs.tar
+ +-- sdcard.img
+ +-- vmlinux
+
+
+Creating a bootable SD card
+===========================
+
+WARNING! This will destroy the existing contents of the SD card.
+Use with caution - ensure that you select the correct block device!
+
+The sdcard.img file is a complete bootable image containing two
+partitions. The first partition contains the bootloader and
+kernel (bbl.bin) and the second partition contains the rootfs.
+
+Write the image to an SD card:
+
+ $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
+
+Make sure that the all DIP switches are set to the off position for
+default boot mode (MSEL mode = 1111), insert the SD card and power
+up the board.
+
+Connect the USB cable and open minicom (/dev/ttyUSB1, 115200, 8N1).
+
+See the 'SiFive HiFive Unleashed Getting Started Guide' for
+more details (https://www.sifive.com/documentation).
