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.

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

| 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.

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

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.

At least ARM allows us to dump the stack, but we currently
have no prototype for this. Add a dump_stack prototype and
provide a static inline function for architectures without
stack dump support. Also, call dump_stack() in panic() to
provide more information in the case of a panic.

In barebox we used 1MiB sections to map our SDRAM cachable. This
has the drawback that we have to map our sdram twice: cached for
normal sdram and uncached for DMA operations. As address space gets
sparse on newer systems we are sometines unable to find a suitably
big enough area for the dma coherent space.
This patch changes the MMU code to use second level page tables.
With it we can implement dma_alloc_coherent as normal malloc, we
just have to remap the allocated area uncached afterwards and map
it cached again after free().
This makes arm_create_section(), setup_dma_coherent() and mmu_enable()
noops.

Often enough the exception vectors are not on TEXT_BASE (for example
on i.MX SoCs in internal boot mode), so the board specific code did
not map the exception vectors to 0x0 but whatever happens to be on
TEXT_BASE. Also, the current section-only mapping requires the
exception vectors to be on a 1MB boundary.
Instead, create the possibility to create second level tables and
use this to map a copy of the exception vectors in a board
independent way.

The idea is to panic() when there is no memory available for normal
operation. Exception: code which can consume arbitrary amount of RAM
(example: files allocated in ramfs) must report error instead of panic().
This patch also fixes code which didn't check for NULL from malloc() etc.
Usage: malloc(), memalign() return NULL when out of RAM.
xmalloc(), xmemalign() always return non-NULL or panic().
