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().

These cache functions have been extracted from
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S. The old code only worked
properly on ARMv4. Tested on ARMv4, ARMv5, ARMv6 hardware.
