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.

The FSF address has changed in the past. Instead of updating it
each time the address changes, just drop it completely treewide.

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 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.

The ep93xx needs a special value at offset 0x1000. Rather than
do special handling in the linker file add aa header section
as done on i.MX.

barebox_image_size was calculated wrong when PRE_IMAGE is defined.
In this case _text does not refer to the binary image start. We
have to use TEXT_BASE here.

We used to get the runtime offset of the board_init_lowlevel_return
by doing a &board_init_lowlevel_return. This does not work in thumb-2
mode, so use a separate linker section for this function instead.

Traditionally U-Boot and barebox have the exception vectors at
the start of the binary. There is no real reason in doing so,
because in the majority of cases this data will not be at 0x0
where it could be used as vectors directly anyway.
This patch puts the vectors into a separate linker section and
defines an head function which is placed at the start of the
image instead. Putting this in a separate function also has
the advantage that it can be placed at the start of images
which require an additional header like several Freescale i.MX
images. As the head function contains the barebox arm magic
those images can now also be detected as barebox images.

this allow to check we do not exceed the size of the SRAM as example
introduce BAREBOX_MAX_BARE_INIT_SIZE the maximum size of bare_init
this will allow your bare_init will fit in SRAM as example
ARCH can overwrite it via ARCH_BAREBOX_MAX_BARE_INIT_SIZE

This is useful to detect a barebox image and to be able
to copy only the image size if barebox is stored on
raw partitions which are bigger than the image.
