ARM: Add relocatable binary support
...
For making the same binary executable on different SoCs which have
different DRAM addresses we have to be independent of the compile
time link address.
This patch adds relocatable binary support for the ARM architecture.
With this two new functions are available. relocate_to_current_adr
will fixup the binary to continue executing from the current position.
relocate_to_adr will copy the binary to a given address, fixup the
binary and continue executing from there.
For the PBL and the real image relocatable support can be enabled
independently. This is done to (hopefully) better cope with setups
where the PBL runs from SRAM or ROM and the real binary does not.

ARM: Enable mmu early
...
This optionally enabled the MMU in the PBL or during early startup for
the non PBL case. The regular MMU init code will pickup the already enabled
MMU later. This might complicate debugging early code, so this has been
made optional.

ARM: Add new entry point for barebox
...
Memory is a precious resource, so it makes sense to make it available as
early as possible. By definition the lowlevel init code already knows where
to find memory because it's the lowlevel init code which sets up the memory.
Until all boards are converted this new entry is just a fallback to the old
entry point.

ARM: give boards control of the reset entry point
...
On some SoCs (for example AM35xx), the ROM bootloader passes useful
information in r0 when jumping to barebox.
To avoid overwriting this in the generic reset code, we introduce
common_reset as a C function and as an assembler macro. This is then
called form the reset entry point (either in common or in board code).
This patch is based on code by Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>.

ARM lowlevel: Use get_runtime_offset

The current approach to get the offset between link and runtime address
is fragile. It requires a big fat comment to put no code above it and it
requires an extra linker section. Instead use a small assembler function.

For now on introduce dummy zbarebox* targets and c code that will contain later

| ARM: set SCTRL[A] only when architecture does not support unaligned access
|

What the patch tried is correct: We should set the A bit only when the architecture
does not support unaligned accesses. To figure out whether the architecture supports
unaligned accesses the patch tested for the U bit which is wrong. The U bit may be
0 after a reset, so instead of testing for the U bit we have to set it. This can
be done on armv6 and later. All others have the A bit set to trap unaligned accesses.

ARM startup: Do call __mmu_cache_flush during startup
...
Traditionally we call __mmu_cache_flush in early startup. There
is a problem with armv7 and hierarchical caches though, on these
systems __mmu_cache_flush uses the stack. Appearantly this was
seldomly a problem, because most of these systems have a ROM
bootloader which sets up some stack, but on a special i.MX6 system
this failed badly. We should not have to flush caches here. Every
sane system should pass control to the bootloader without stale
entries in the caches *), so it should be a safe assumption that the
cache flush can be removed.
Since __mmu_cache_flush is not called from early code anymore we can
also move it to the regular text section.
Be brave and give it a try.
*) omap3 seems to be a exception to this, but this has a cache flush
in arch_init_lowlevel already
