This adds the make infrastructure to build multiple SoC or
board specific images from a single barebox binary.
The basic idea is that we no longer have a single pbl, but instead
multiple pbls, one per image if necessary. Each pbl is defined
by its entry function so that each pbl can do exactly what a given
board needs. Additionally the pbls together with a self extracting
barebox binary can be encapsulated in specific image formats.
squashed in build fixes from Lucas Stach for make version >= 3.82:
Split Multimage Makefile rule in explicit and implicit parts
Fixes build with make version >=3.82
Frome the make 3.82 NEWS file:
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
In previous versions of make it was acceptable to list one or more explicit
targets followed by one or more pattern targets in the same rule and it
worked "as expected". However, this was not documented as acceptable and if
you listed any explicit targets AFTER the pattern targets, the entire rule
would be mis-parsed. This release removes this ability completely: make
will generate an error message if you mix explicit and pattern targets in
the same rule.

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.

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.
