[GSOC, 2016] Improve support for Raspberry Pi BSP

[Pratik Singhal]

Hello, I am Pratik Singhal 3rd year undergraduate student studying Computer
Science in India.
I am interested in working with RTEMS on improving support for Raspberry Pi
boards as a part of Google summer of code 2016 project.

I have previously worked for FreeBSD  as a part of Google summer of Code
2015 and had improved support for Cubieboard (Allwinner A10 board). You can
get more details about the project here  (
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2015/CubieBoardSupport)

I have completed the Getting Started part mentioned here
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/GettingStarted
I am attaching a screenshot and a patch for the same in this mail. Is there
any other test I need to do before applying for Google summer of code ?

While following the instructions to build rtems, mentioned here
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/TBR/UserManual/Quick_Start , I stumbled upon a
problem during the "make" step, regarding the compiler unable to find
<sys/select.h> file, which I have corrected by building using RSB 4.12
instead of RSB 4.11 .

Can someone please provide information about the current support level for
Raspberry Pi boards ?
