/*
 * The Atmel AT91SAM9 series has a small resource of 4 nonvolatile
 * 32 Bit registers (buffered by the Vbu power).
 *
 * Please consider carefully before using this resource for tasks
 * that do not really need nonvolatile registers. Maybe you can
 * store information in EEPROM or FLASH instead.
 *
 * However, if you use a GPBR please document its use here and
 * reference the define in your code!
 *
 * known typical uses of the GPBRs:
 * GPBR[0]: offset for RTT timekeeping (u-boot, kernel)
 * GPBR[1]: unused
 * GPBR[2]: unused
 * GPBR[3]: bootcount (u-boot)
