This patch assumes only crt0.S sets the register used for

I may misunderstood what you are saying here,
Likely, this is not about how to set reserve gd, but why gd
is setup twice. The answer is because some more cleanup
is needed (which deserves its own patch).
but I believe that the
code in common/board_f.c which creates a global_data on the stack can
be removed for ARM now that Albert has tidied all this up with the
crt0.S changes, etc. So in common/board_f.c something like:
void board_init_f(ulong boot_flags)
{
/* These two archs set up the global_data before board_init_f() */
#if !defined(CONFIG_X86) && !defined(CONFIG_ARM)
gd_t data;
gd = &data;
#endif
gd->flags = boot_flags;
This won't work in general for ARM as board_init_f
returns in the ARM specific board (and will be rather
ugly for the clang case).

Jeroen
