Searching in volume 0 is necessary for multiboot targets with only
one drive, like the M3K/Q1/ErosQ. Without this the search code will
never look at the redirect file on these targets.
The search bound is configured with a setting MULTIBOOT_MIN_VOLUME,
which defaults to 0, but is defined to 1 for Sansa players so they
keep their old behavior.

The implementation of write_bootdata() and get_redirect_dir() was
copied verbatim in two different places, obviously a bad thing for
maintainability. This moves them to a new file multiboot.c as they
are only used for multiboot.

Before this was just implemented inline wherever it was needed. Now
it is provided as 2 inline functions in a header called checksum.h.
There should be no differences in actual behavior.

I never added multiboot awareness to ROLO
When a new firmware file was loaded [Bootdata] would not be
copied to the new instance resulting in the firmware
running off the internal drive till next reboot
Bootloaders shares the rb-loader code but should not be
affected by the removal of static from write_bootdata()

Adds the ability to load firmware from other drives on MULTIVOLUME targets
Mihail Zenkov <mihail.zenkov@gmail.com> had posted a hard coded patch
to allow this on several Sansa players, I made it more universal
Redirect file rockbox_main.<name> should placed in root of
drive you would like to be main, if this file empty or there a single
slash '/' firmware will be loaded from /.rockbox in root of this drive
If instead a /<*DIRECTORY*> is supplied in rockbox_main.<name> then
firmware will be loaded from /<dir>/.rockbox/
NOTES*
The directory can have multiple levels however..
leading slash MUST be included
trailing slash can be omitted
(eg. /test/.rockbox would be simply '/test' in the redirect file)
Redirect file will not work on internal drive (whatever is default boot drive)
Volume with the highest index containing redirect file will be loaded
first.
Firmware file is checked for boot data region, if missing, firmware
image will not be loaded.
On failure or if no redirect file is found load will fallback to
internal drive
Currently only Sansa Fuze+, Sansa Clip+,
Sansa Clip Zip, Sansa Fuzev2, and Sansa Fuzev1 are implemented.
Players (with HAVE_MULTIVOLUME)
will need #define HAVE_BOOTDATA and #define BOOT_REDIR "rockbox_main.<name>"
added to their config file
boot_data is implemented in crt0.s file (See g#1552)
ARM and IMX233 have aleady been implemented
Once these conditions are met <HAVE_MULTIBOOT> will be defined by config.h
Partitions on the drives are able to have a redirect as
well.

Bootdata is a special location in the Firmware marked by a magic header
The bootloader is able to copy information to the firmware by locating
this struct and passing data to the firmware when it is loaded but
before it is actually executed
Data is verified by a crc of the bootdata

The idea is to share loading code between bootloaders and rolo().
