Sometimes Assembler beats C. In this case a small assembler
function called without parameters can:
- copy a binary to its link address
- clear the bss
- return to the same position in the copied binary

We called create_sections with 4096MB as size argument, but create_sections
expected the argument in bytes, so create sections was completely optimized
away due to the size >>= 20. This patch changes the size argument to be in
megabytes and adjusts map_cachable to pass the argument in megabytes.

We can't do anything useful in the error function, so we just hang.
This has the advantage that at least when a JTAG debugger is connected
we can see what happens. Otherwise the code just jumps to NULL in case
of an error.

remap_cache currently does not work, so enabling the MMU in the
PBL currently does not make sense. Disable it for now.

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>.

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.

This allows for creating a lzo compressed binary unsing the pbl.
Only copy the piggydata if needed.
Add CONFIG_PBL_FORCE_PIGGYDATA_COPY option
In some case we need to copy the PIGGYDATA as the link address
as example we run from SRAM and shutdown the SDRAM/DDR for
reconfiguration but most of the time we just need to copy the
executable code.

This allows for creating a pre-bootloader binary for
- nand boot
- mmc boot
- compressed image
The pbl will be incharge of the lowlevel init if needed.
The barebox will skip it.
Import string functions from linux 3.4 (arch/arm/boot/compressed/string.c) and
implement a dummy panic.
For now on introduce dummy zbarebox* targets and c code that will contain later
the decompressor. This only implemeted on ARM.
